Like it said in the article, lower energy requirements, lower heat output, and cheaper chip production costs. That is it.

You have to look at this in terms of revisions, much like with the original Xbox, it is on its sixth revision at the moment (v1.6), the PS2 is on its 12th or 13th revision and Gamecube is on it's 4th.

All it means is that they have changed components, board layouts etc. to cut down on manufacturing costs only, they have not made any changes in speed etc.

That's meant that we don't have to care about the new processor. smile.gif Since we are using it in our home, I guess it won't be very annoying unless you are playing in the room which you are sharing with your room mate. biggrin.gif

I myself really prefer the silent condition. I don't like noise. I think I should go to test the 360 myself.
