Well the Xbox 2 is due out sometime before the end of the world (it is Microsoft after all) and there have been leaked reports on the interweb about the specification. These aren´t official so they may change on release or be completely different altogether.

 
The hardware consists of some juicy goodies such as:

• 3 core PowerPC CPU with each core running at 3.2 GHz. Nice.


• Another custom ATI graphics chip running at 500 MHz with a load of embedded RAM to increase performance.


• Half a Gig of fast high bandwidth RAM


• Dolby 5.1 Audio


• Extras such as Wi-Fi ready, removable hdd, 4 wireless controllers

There´s also mention of the various online and offline features but these are a bit vague until Microsoft releases more information. There´s also no info on things such as OS. It´s fairly certain that it won´t be backwards compatible either, but, oh well.
