MS Makes, Sells 65nm ‘Falcon’ Xbox 360 Consoles

October 1st 2007 | Games Consoles

Microsoft has begun selling Xbox 360 consoles equipped with 65nm chips - parts that pump out less heat than the 90nm silicon found in older 360s - according to buyers who’ve been poking around inside their new machines.

The first 65nm consoles? The Halo 3 limited edition, it seems. A poster on the official Xbox forum, JWSpeed, took his apart and found a much smaller heatsink than previous 360s used. He posted the following pics, though there are more on his website.
