Xbox 360's 65nm Jasper chipset in the works for August release?

Cooler running 360 chipsets could be on store shelves this summer

By Paul Miller

While our primary gripe with the 360 continues to be drive noise, any improvements to the console that might subdue the impression it's eating our games and heating our continent would certainly be welcome. Microsoft's Jasper 65nm chipset has been in the works for the Xbox 360 for a while, and now reports are coming fast and furious that Taiwanese companies are picking up the contracts for the chips, and the new setup will be sucking down less wattage and pumping out less heat by August of this year. After that attention will turn to the rumored Vahalla, to be built by the same Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., which will combine the CPU and GPU into a new super-efficient chip for fall of '09 if these reports are anything to go by.

Fall of 09? That's gay. Playstation 4 will be ready to release lol

But I think that might be a typo...?

[KranK]

Didn't notice the date, thats a really long time a way, and by that time shouldn't the new xbox be pretty much done?

It probably is a typo. I'll check the source to see if they've fixed it.
Nope. Still says Fall of 09

PS4 wont be released in 09..... I guarantee it, Sony LOVES to wait for the other system to be damn near dead...

That better not screw up any X-Clamp fixing that would need to be done on the rare occasion by then
