Happily I am pleased to admit that I don’t own an Xbox 360 of any form or version and don’t ever plan to so I find it very amusing how anyone can care about what version of CPU they have. Now if Microsoft ever smuggled a reliable product inside a version of Windows THAT would be newsworthy;-) Quite honestly, I am fed up enough with the Microsoft products on my PC without letting them anywhere near my entertainment activities!

I can’t believe nobody has jumped on the most obvious misprint in this entire article… which was in the first sentence… “… you could own an Xbox 360 sporting the much fabled 65nm CPU and GPU.”

it’s ONLY the CPU that is going 65nm… the GPU won’t change until at least midway through next year…

What forum can I go to in Australia to find gamers discussing the LOT numbers and when we will get the right 360's?

I want an Elite, SOON but I want one of the new ones, manufactured absoloutely as recently as possible.

Ummm, how would this upset consumers?
it would only upset the retarded ones.
See, it makes no difference, it runs at exactly the same speed, just how the fuck is this exciting news anyway?

Weve seen this for many, many years now.
The PS2 has gone trough many of these changes over it's life time, 2 just in the PStwo incarnation, and many more when it was the bigger box, (like merging the graphics chip with the EE)

Not intresting at all, pretty standard stuff to see, it reduces costs for them, that's the main reason they do it.

I am the original author of the aformentioned thread in the Xbox forums. I just wanted to point out a few things:

1. The Halo 3 console that the pictures come from has been tested for power consumption, and also has a new revision on the CPU…
2. The power consumption is about 33% less than the tester’s Elite.
3. The CPU now has a revison A01 instead of A00, and is also manufactured in Canada, not Taiwan.

I did not make that guide because I saw a new heatsink. If you look at this page of the Falcon discussion: http://forums.xbox.com/47/14713652/ShowPost.aspx#15798030, you will see the original pictures of the console heatsink as well as the CPU.
