Quote: "While we still don't know exactly what is going on under that final

hood that is the Xbox 360 XCGPU heat spreader we do know that Microsoft is

making some interesting decisions about the technology going into the

console. They have spent what is likely a good amount of time and money on

developing this new platform which indicates they plan on sticking with it

for a bit longer than many gamers may have expected. The combination of a

CPU/GPU hybrid processor enabled Microsoft to make the system quieter,

cooler and helps it consume as much as 40% less power when running at idle."
