We’ve known that a new Xbox 360 chipset has been in the works for some time. Codenamed Jasper, the revised chipset is rumored to go into production by August 2008 and is said to sport both a GPU and CPU utilizing 65nm process technology.
Anyways, on to the new stuff. Today we’ve learned of two more chipsets that are rumored to be in the works. The first of which is called Opus, a Falcon generation motherboard designed to fit in a Xenon case. Considering the first gen Xenon models did not include an HDMI port, it’s safe to assume that the Opus will be reserved for dealing with the RROD issue on older refurbished consoles.
The second chip, currently dubbed Valhalla, bridges the 65nm CPU and 65nm GPU from Jasper into one single chip. Given the compact size, Valhalla will require less cooling and would hopefully be more reliable than its predecessors. And let’s not forget lower production costs means Valhalla would most likely be cheaper, too.
Assuming Jake’s information pans out, we should see 360 units with the Valhalla chip installed on store shelves in 2009 or mid 2010 at the latest.
Resumiendo un poco dice que saldrán dos tipos de chips nuevos para la 360 y tendrán un precio mas barato y tencnologia de 65nm tanto para la cpu como la gpu.
Una de las placas es la Opus que no tendrá HDMI y se basará en las placas base falcon y se encajarán en la caja de las xenon.
Y la otra placa la Valhalla cogerá la tecnologia de los 65nm de las Jasper y lo meterán en un solo chip, gpu y cpu juntas por lo que da a entender.
Las valhallas serán las mejores y necesitarán menos refrigeración. Saldrán entre 2009 y 2010
