| crumas2 said: The jasper units will almost certainly use less power than falcon units. Reduced process-size GPUs/CPUs always use less power (usually dramatically less) than their predecessors , and the jasper GPU is a reduced-process-size chip. EDIT: Less power consumed also means less heat, which will almost certainly reduce the failure rate. The big question is how much less heat and the resulting failure rate reduction. |
They've halved the power usage of the original console. Same fans, similar heatsinks so it can be assumed that given the quieter running that the heat levels inside would have dropped considerably. Since they have also been doing motherboard revisions - combined with the heat reductions until proved otherwise I don't think theres any reason to believe a Jasper unit has any more inherrant unreliability than a PS3.
Tease.
