They haven't used the 65nm single die Valhalla chipset yet... guess it's for the slim?

At a minimum, MS will have a single 45 nm die.  I think it will probably be a 32 nm die.

What they should do is increase the clock speed of all parts 20-40%, increase the eDRAM to enough for a single 720P frame to fit, and bump the ram to 1GB.  Taken together that should give a pretty good boost to the system performance with essentially no cost.

 

 

The 360 is a console, not a computer, even if they up the specs, devs won't take advantage of it since they'd have to increase production cost yet again to make a game that'd work on both setups at a fixed presentation since there is no slider for console display options.
