65nm CPUs and improved heatsink in Halo 3 LE Xbox 360
Online site DailyTech reports that an Xbox 360 owner with a gamertag of JWSpeed dissected his new Halo 3 Limited Edition console and found out that it came with the long-promised 65nm CPUs.
Aside from that, the said gamer also noticed a simplified heatsink design for the console. For so long now, gamers have been requesting Microsoft for a solution to the overheating problem suffered by the Xbox 360.
While the company has yet to publicly discussed the issues surrounding the Red Ring of Death, it is a common and popular belief that this is due to the 90nm CPUs’ lack of cooling capabilities.
Aside from the already mentioned advantage, shifting to 65nm CPUs will also save Microsoft some money. These chips are smaller and 50% less expensive to manufacture. It is unsure until now, however, whether the GPU has also been moved to 65nm.
