The next big thing from that big-time hardware maker known as Microsoft has been outed.
The San Jose Mercury News’s Dean Takahashi has the details on Project Falcon, the motherboard of the next version of the Xbox 360. Components include an IBM microprocessor and AMD/ATI graphics chip, but the big news is that they are 65-nm (not 90-nm) chips. The new chips run cooler than their larger 90-nm cousins, important says the MercuryNews, because heat was a primary cause of failure in the console.
