God damn people spend enough money on the consoles, games, and accessories. Do we REALLY need to keep upgrading consoles EVERY year?!!?

The 45nm chips arent even made yet lol. Plus they have to do all the testing with the chips.

im pretty sure m$ reason for the 65nm and (eventually) 45nm chips is cost, not for heat reduction. that article made it sound like m$ only goal is to make the system run cooler. the ps3 has no heat issues and they are using 65nm cpu chips in the 40gb consoles. it is just simply cheaper to manufacture. and the console world is extremely competitive. both companies are constantly finding ways to cut cost and outdo their competitors while still making a profit

Right now the (FALCON) boards have a 65nm cpu and a 90nm gpu chip. By making the change to 65nm this will cut the heat down by nearly 20% and a whopping 35% when compared to the launch console. Now this doesnt mean Microsoft is done trying to cool the console down. By 2009 Microsoft plans on releasing 45nm chips in the console which will of course cut down even more on heat and cost of production.

Look for the (JASPER) consoles to hit this August.

Source:OXM and Paul Allen

I personally talked to Paul Allen about the next console which is where my numbers came from. I met Paul Allen when I was pitching my Halo 3 console to him but Bungie already had the Halo 3 console concept finalized which is why we got the green one. But I will say that Paul Allen liked my console so much that he bought my original Halo 3 creation. Ok I bragged enough lol.

Good read, Lethal_NFS. Thanks for passing this info to us bro.

LOL, you guys complaining about the SKUs are funny! I mean, how many versions of the PS2 were there? 14? Something like that. Nobody complained then!
If you have a working 360, who cares what they bring out?

Sotonian Rebel · 01-23-2008, 04:19 AM

i bet that it will be more expensive than the PS3 on release was

Stalk3r92 · 01-23-2008, 10:09 AM

I'll sell my Elite and buy Jasper when it comes out:P And abount those 45nm chips, MS will make 32nm ,NOT 45nm chips in 2009.
