lmao, you have no idea what you are talking about. Just because they are combined doesnt mean its not the same gpu or same capabilities. Not sure how you thought this was ownage :P

I thought the Slim's CPU and GPU were already on one chip?

It's still a dedicated GPU...

well i guess the system was reliable in the first place if you ignore RROD and all the other issues, but this sounds even safer *thumbs up*

So whats the deal with this? Make another Xbox when Next Gen is approaching and everyone already has an xbox? Or use old processor and graphics chip and try to compete with AMD who's tech is still being worked on? I can only see one use for this, a price cut on xbox's.

um the deal with it was answered by your own post by combining the gpu and cpu on the same die they save on power usage, cooling issues, and fabrication so it means less cost to make 360's and likely more profit in Microsofts pockets and we will likely see a price drop because of it.

And it's the same type of tech they're gonna use for the nextbox, they were already developing it, it's not like they were just wasting money on a new 360 x.x

Next time, start an actual discussion instead of an excessive amount of "l"s
