Next Xbox chipset in production, will release fall 2013

 Multiple reports today have stated that the chipset for the Xbox 360's successor has been in production since the end of last year. The biggest report yet has just hit, with IGN claiming the system will launch in the Fall of 2013.

Earlier reports in the day came from Fudzilla and SemiAccurate, both of whom stated the "Oban" chipset has started production under the watchful eyes of IBM and Global Foundries. IGN has provided further specs, noting the GPU will be based on an upgraded version of AMD's 6000 series. IGN further states that the processors on the next Xbox will be six times as powerful as the Xbox 360's, and 20 percent more powerful than the Wii U. While the reported production of the GPU won't commence until the end of the year, IGN states that development kits will make their way to Xbox partners in August.
