Hopefully the reduced power usage leads to lowered fan speeds. I could use another 360 for a media center extender.]]>Sep 29th 2008 10:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/Sep 29th 2008 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/
The fan noise isnt too bad, but anything approaching silence is always welcome, and the 65nm can only help (i would hope). Considering some movies can have moments of complete silence, it would be great to also have a completely silent player as well.

But to be honest, i cant complain too much. The thing is so damn versatile.]]>Sep 29th 2008 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/Sep 30th 2008 6:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/Sep 30th 2008 7:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/

Its gotta be worth it to exchange right?

Bought it on the 13th of Sept. So I can only hope that the new lot shows up before my 30 days is up at gamestop.

Hope no one peed on it while it was in the bathroom....]]>Sep 29th 2008 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/

There is absolutely no way this is a Jasper. Someone on the Xbox forums has a 360 from the exact same lot. ""Week lot 0831 seems to be the Falcon chip. My watt readings where the same as AnandTech give or take 1 or 2.I used Halo3 the same as the web site also.Sorry guys,I guess we will have to wait a little longer.At least we know lot 0831 in not Jasper.""

Engadget needs to remove this post or edit it substantially. Many people read Engadget and take it for truth, as they probably can most of the time, expecting the editors to research before posting. These are just Falcon consoles...nothing else. And I certainly wouldn't trust 360drives as a source. Check the official Xbox forums, there are plenty of long established threads on this topic under 360 Hardware.]]>Sep 30th 2008 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/Sep 29th 2008 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/Sep 29th 2008 10:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/Sep 29th 2008 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/Sep 29th 2008 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/Sep 29th 2008 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/

Brazilians have to wait until 2009.]]>Oct 9th 2008 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/xbox-360-with-jasper-arrives-on-the-scene-in-all-its-65nm-glory/
Manufacture date on or after 23 Oct 2008...Lot number 843XX or better (ie. 844XX, 845XX).
Look in the serial number cutout, and look for 12.1A. If it says 14.6A, then it's a Falcon.

This is for FDOU and CSOC team builds.
There are some 843XX manufactured 23 Oct 2008, but have 14.6A.

What is 843XX???? 8 = 2008 43=Week number (52 weeks in a year) XX = Line or shift or day of week 5 being Friday

So if someone is claiming to have a 85304, they are smoking crack! This would actually be 90104

You could see something like this 84305

Justification on the 12.1A indicator being a Jasper Board???:
Some power bricks are being shipped with a 175W for use on a 12.1A, others have a 150W. The console connector is keyed for the Jasper 12.1A board. You can't use an old power supply on a new Jasper or you could possibly fry the board. This is so they can get rid of the redundant 175W supplies. This will have no effect on the console whatsoever. The console will only use what is needed, up to 175W or 150W, which ever you have.
So if the unit used 12 volts and rated at 12.1 amps, it will use 145.2 watts. Yes, 12 volts, because the power supply takes the 110V AC current and transforms it into 12 volts @ 12.1A. Volts x Amps = Watts.

So with a new 65nm GPU and CPU, you don't need more amps to run it. That's why the change to 12.1A. A 90nm GPU and 60nm CPU (Falcon board) requires 14.6A to run it because the 90mn GPU requires more power.
