Yes its possible, you just believe in incorrect information. The Xbox 360 uses far less power as the chip revisions have progressed, its a little more than half as much as a launch unit with Jasper and we will be two further hardware revisions in by the time the end of 2010 comes around. Reconstructing the layout if anything would make it more reliable as they would be able to finally fix a few of the niggling issues with the current design which cannot be fixed without one.

OK, we will see how that will work out =D two further hardware revisions? as in two new models (chipsets or whatever) will be introduced? Is that something you know for a fact?

it will be nice to see how it will work out though, the 360 slim I mean.. I am open for any outcome and don't necessarily believe it will fail. I am just curious to how it turns out ^^

Well the only thing I know for a fact is that theres at least one moderately big hardware revision which has happened every year since the Xbox 360 was released. Since Microsoft haven't got so many leaks lately we must rely on past precedent here.

2005: Xenon 90nm CPU/GPU

2006: Zephyr some random changes, forgot the details.

2007: Falcon 65nm CPU

2008: Jasper 65nm GPU

2009: ???? 45nm CPU (At least)

2010: ???? ??? revision???

Well the slim is obviously coming, the question is when and how slim?

 

 

 

@ squilliam

Valhalla is the next motherboard revision squill. It will reportedly combine cpu and gpu into one chip. I'm betting my marbles this is the slim. I read your analysis of the feasibility of 28-32nm chipsets in the 360 slim and it makes alot of sense. You're right. Intel reportedly is making smooth progress which is why they have started concentrating on the 32nm chips. Hopefully IBM follows suit.

Even if it is a 45nm chip in the slim, the fact that it'll be one chip instead of two has got to significantly improve power consumption, manufacturing costs and heat build up, right?
