This doesn't really mean the chips aren't 65nm though.

65nm chips could be used in "Zephyr" motherboards as far as I know.

The only way to truly tell if you have 65nm chips right now (if they are even out, which is also unknown) is to crack open the case, pull off the heatsinks, and look at them.

People are just assuming that once they go 65nm they will put "Falcon" in the serial#.

It's a decent assumption, but it's not confirmed or anything. Just one of the possibilities.

MRCUR at Xbox.com that a lot of people are using for a source says lot 0728 and up have 65nm. He didn't say anything about Zephyr vs Falcon at all.

But that doesn't mean lot 0728 might not have Falcon in the serial.

And even then, I think the CPU will go 65nm first and the GPU will wait a bit longer. So there likely will be system with a 65nm CPU and a 90nm GPU. Will those be code named Falcon since they're not fully 65nm?

So much rumors and little hard facts...
