im pretty sure the "jasper" unit has a 65nm cpu and 65nm gpu, thus reducing the power usage/heat (compared to 90nm for both on earlier models) and draws 12.1amps/150 watts

the "falcon" has a 65nm cpu, but a 90nm gpu and draws 14.2 amps/175 watts

the older "xenon" and "zephyr" models had both 90nm cpu and 90nm gpu and drawing 16.5 amps/203 watts

im pretty sure this is all right based on my recent research of them

but overall the jasper is just more power/heat effecient, thus being less likely to break down on you
