SI's analysis on Xbox 360 Elite

As you all know, online site Llama.com stripped down Xbox 360 Elite to its bare naked essentials literally. Quite unfortunately, it was found out that the new SKU still doesn't have the much-talked about 65nm GPU. Semiconductor Insights (SI) did the same recently and was able to provide some good inputs about the matter.

SI, just so you know, is one of the more reliable technical advisers to the microelectronics community around the globe. Some products that benefited from its expertise include Infineon, Intel, TSMC, and Texas Instruments among many others. Going back to 360 Elite, SI's technology analyst Rob Hilkes noted,

The CPU in the Xbox 360 Elite seems to be assembled in Canada whereas the CPU in the previous Xbox was marked "Taiwan." This may indicate that while the previous CPU was built on Chartered's Fab7 in Singapore and assembled in Taiwan, the CPU of the Elite may be built in IBM's Fab B323 in East Fishkill, New York and assembled at IBM's assembly facility in nearby Bromont, Quebec.


Hilkes added that the new system is using both sources. Also, the analyst added that Microsoft redesigned some aspects of the power architecture that results in a lower component count. For more info on this, watch the whole video analysis below.

That picture was a confirmed fake. You can see the 3 red lights don't even directly light the ring, like somebody taped some cheap leds under the faceplacte.



Try again ass hole.

I hope the 120GB HDD has about 117GB free space after everything is deleted.

Yeah I made that fake "bricked" XBOX 360 elite picture. I was desperately trying to save my job, but sony fired me anyway because I turned my playstation creation into a movie player that nobody is buying.



I'm really losing it, I couldn't even tape led's under the faceplate in a convincing manner.

If nobody else will comment on it, then I will.



The Xbox 360 Elite is a piece of shiit. The Llama.com comparison showed its the same damn machine as the original 360 with an HDMI input, 120 GB and some cables. Well what the fck is Elite about that? And for that price? Fck Microsoft for not taking the time to do this right --> wireless, 65nm chip, handjob... *****
