Microsoft's Jasper Xbox Console Reaches Market Space with Improvements

Previously we mentioned about 65-nm CPU in Microsoft Xbox, now it seems that the long waited Jasper Xbox Console has reached consumer space recently. Basically the motherboard design doesn't change much except it will be powered by a new GPU with 65-nm process technology with much better power consumption along with some other changes in terms of flash memory storage space and power ratings.

But do they supply RROD Consoles with this Jasper chip when they return it to consumer?

1.2 - Sounds good to me!

I offered my sons the option to pick whatever system they wanted for christmas (cause my wife had me convinced they would pick a Wii), and much to my surprise, they said a 360!

Now I gotta have 2 360's hooked up! At least with all the 360's people bought on black friday... I know I have a higher chance of getting one with this new board in it. Now all I need is that 120 Gb Hdd for mine...

well right now microsoft it's sending xbox 360 with falcon mainboard for replacement, but if you send a NON-HDMI console (xbox 360 consoles between 2005 and july 2007) they will send you a console without HDMI but i'll have a falcon mainboard. Maybe microfot do the same with the replacement consoles, they cut out the HDMI support and use jasper mainboards. THIS IS ONLY for xbox 60 without HDMI, the oldest ones

I wish they'd have quieter DVD drives. Does anyone know if the newer systems have quieter drives?

I don't know but since the NXE you could always load the game onto the HD.

I picked up a new 60gb one recently, and that is much quieter than my UK launch 360 & the elite I got had last year. Both the fans & DVD drive are a lot quieter.

I think they will introduce these in all skus since they woudn't want any issues of RROD again even if the last iteration did not have as many as before that.

I would hope they reduce the damn 120gb price.

Why do people buy ps3 when 95% of multiplats are better on 360. More AAA games on 360, better online features on 360, huge line up of games, achievements, rumble out of the box, hdmi in elite? I guess people buy 360 over ps3 because they like to play games not dream about.

Because the 360 has good online. Great games and a warranty for it's faults. Sucks, but I spent $400 3 years ago, and you know what? I haven't spent a dime since. I bought a new controller $39, 2 charge packs $30 (total) and games. I have had my problems with it, but it's still brought me great fun. Gears 1 and 2, forza 3, PGR3 and 4, Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Banjo Kazooie, Left 4 dead, Crackdown, Dead Rising, Lost planet

To some people who asked the question, of course Microsoft will replace defective units with the Jasper chipset, well in time at least.

All older non-hdmi consoles will receive standard non-hdmi replacements with Falcon boards until they are used up.

All other HDMI replacements will receive the same until they are used up.

After all stock is used up, all further replacements will be Jasper boards. I obviously can't "confirm" this, but it's all common sense. They're not going to produce 90NM chips if they can produce 65NM chips.

it a good news for xbox 360 user now that they don't have to worry too much on RROD cause if it happen the bots can do an exchange (provided the warranty is still valid) and i bet their hot-line would be flooded with angry BOTS user. Congatulation M$.
