I don't think a combined CPU/GPU is a good solution. Even the Xbox 360 "phat" had cooling problems as we all know, and this would make it only worse.

Good point. Even if I didn't have a 360 already (Jasper, never had a RRoD so far), I probably wouldn't buy this until at least a year after its launch to have some feedback concerning long-term reliability.

"Well certainly with the Xbox 360, we had some challenges at the launch. Once we identified that we took control of it. We wanted to do it right by our customers. Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360

Bad point. If cooling was that bad they would have just stuck a bigger heatsink and a bigger fan on it and beefed up the RPM if that was the problem they faced.

GAF seems to think the pic is legit but Kotaku's comments are retarded. The pic came from a Chinese forum.

Assuming this is real,

@Damnyouall: It doesn't seem like a pc mobo to me. No PCI, PCI-e, DVI, memory slots etc.. Definitely looks like an Xbox mobo. I doubt it'll be a "slim" version. More like the next xbox probably...

@1337 Gamer

I hope its not a fake after the smaller cheaper cooling system they put in the original 360 that clearly doesn't work, i for one would welcome this new reign of cooler master heat syncs

can we get some scale? how big is that fan for instance?

Old vs New

And that fan is most likely for testing purposes.

This is real 100%. Its actually not all the surprising since the Xbox360 is very similar to a PC and there has been a lot of progress in miniaturisation of PC integrated circuits since the last 3 years. Its a no brainer to combine chipsets and reduce the form-factor by a lot. Expect a Xbox slim and Natal to be revealed at E3 and released in the fall.
