The Xbox One is a

powerful piece of
hardware with 8GB
RAM DDR3, 64-bit
processors and plenty
more muscle. But as
time passes this
hardware will age. As
Xbox One Director of
development Boyd
Multerer pointed out,
"You'll still have a limited
number of transistors in
your house; in your
box."
Not much is known
about the Xbox One
GPU, but a Microsoft
representative has told
IGN "AMD is our
primary partner for the
custom silicon that
makes up our GPU/CPU
SOC that is the heart of
Xbox One." [Source:
IGN interview with
Microsoft]

The Xbox One is built to

communicate with
servers in the cloud to increase the computational potential of the system. Boyd continued "[As a
developer] I can start doing things like shifting latency insensitive things to the cloud. You may have
a limited number of transistors in your house, but you have an unlimited number of transistors in the
cloud"
As bandwidth improves, there is potential for actual game computations to be off-loaded to servers
in the cloud, essentially allowing the Xbox One to become more powerful over time as more and
more transistors are connected to Microsoft's cloud infrastructure
