MS Unveils Details of Slim 360's Shiny New Silicon

[QUOTE="Kahuna_1"]

[QUOTE="X360PS3AMD05"]Does the Ps3 have N?? IDK i'm not a fanboy, i do know that i didn't care for linux or BC so the removed features weren't a big deal to me. CuteCakes

No. When the PS3 launched in 2006 there was no wireless N. And I dont not think it was in the mass market(not sure) when Sony launched the Slim in 2009.

Ah, my mistake. Well it was not feasible in 2006. Not sure about 2009, but no point in increasing the price of production. MS had room to work with the new 360 where as Sony need to cut costs quickly.

The final standard for wireless N was only approved in September last year - although I have no idea why it's being talked about anyway.

sucks for the people that designed it, must have been painful gimping there own work,loldelta3074

Well it's not like they made some super powerful 360 chipset and then gimped it down to to 'old' 360 levels. For all intensive purposes it's the exact same hardware performance-wise, with MS only 'gimping' the connection between the CPU and GPU in order to make sure performance is consistent with the older 360s.

you mean the ps3 has wireless n? let alone that the ps3 has come out with more SKU's the ps3 has had features removed...360 has had them added.WilliamRLBaker

And yet PS3 has more features and still costs the same..........

and yet the RDOD still runs rampant on just about every Xbox 360 forum.

:lol:

looks like MS has learned something.

you're right! It couldn't be from past problems, it's SPECIFICALLY RDOD, as I'll ''trust'' your research/expertise.

I bet SquareTrade is full of liars payed off by M$. and their figures of past 360 revisions are also false.

"N'' or 802.11N has been in the market since 2007? I want to guess? (as I write, it was published (officially a standard) in 2009, but available before then for sale, as I mentioned.

and now that I think of it, Microsoft had their overpriced Wifi adapter on N as soon as it was standardized. so they had delved into before the 360S. I'd bet it's all extra incentive of some sort.

however, there's rumors Sony has a new SKU that will include N. but the availability has been out there for quite some time in terms of tech years.

The big disadvantage is if one piece goes back, the whole thing is shot (which is why it's unwise to buy things like televisions with built-in DVD players). That being said, it doesn't really matter in this case. It's not like you're going to go in and fix a broken GPU yourself in a console.musicalmac

Yeah, not a huge problem for the 360/consoles, but it could be a pretty nasty issue for PCs in the future. I can't imagine people will be too thrilled if they void the warranty on the chip by OC'ing the CPU only to have the GPU component give out later on.
