Remember

"By next year at the earliest, Microsoft is scheduled to launch a new iteration of the Xbox 360 with a board dubbed Valhalla. That board will have a single chip that combines both the graphics chip and microprocessor on a single device. This is the kind of technical tour de force that Sony achieved with the chips for the PlayStation 2, a move that allowed the company to significantly reduce manufacturing costs."

 

Vahalla is being hyped as a bigger cost saver then Falcon and Jasper, though it might not be as high as a $100 saving it will definitely be larger then the $50 of its predecessors.

Nice one good  info,.
