    The all-in-one, 45nm chip

    Fucking finally...


    The wireless card

    And the (new) motherboard

    Check the SATA ports on the upper left corner, HDD hax anyone?;-)


    The data:
    • 50% power consumption of the old one (Xenon)
    • Same old big drive, but a different version
    • Not much quieter than a jasper, but you can tell the difference
    • Silicon made by formerly-AMD global foundries
    • Essentially, what the X360 should've been from the beginning

    No idea, but getting it to run homebrew stuff like the original Xbox would be awesome.

    This is pretty amazing. It must have cost MS a lot of money to refine the XB360 like this - which means they intend to maintain the console for a long time.

    Yeah the estimates says 2012...........for the next revision!

    An actual new console would come maybe after 2015, so if some people complain that the X360's graphics already look old they better start saving for a gaming PC now.

    it looks like MS took the lazy way out and used a USB interface for the wifi
    witch is great because people can just upgrade with really good 3rd party wifi card or even GSM or CDMA Internet :dance:

    Highly unlikely, the 360 does not have the software to connect to those other wifi cards.

    the current 360 supports external USB wifi cards and there are 3rd party 802.11 N cards for the 360 so its a possibility if nothing else then with a modchip

    maybe we will get lucky and GSM and CDMA Internet cards will work too
