So whats up with the 65nm chip?

ive been planning to get an xbox 360 soon but once i stumbled upon the 65nm chip info i decided to wait. now ppl on xbox forums are saying that onlye the halo3 edition comes with the new cpu. wut about the elites and premiums? if their lot no.'s are over 0734 would they have them? If not, will microsoft even incorporate the new chips into the elites and premiums? and if so, when? by lot no.'s 0735?



any help is greatly appreciatedSo whats up with the 65nm chip?
Once someone opens their Elite and Premiums up and find a Falcon 65nm motherboard, I'm sure it''ll be advertised. It'll happen in time.
actually the 65nm chips are with lot numerb 0735 and higher i have 0736 and have this new chip with the fan its super quiet and cold

I did some research and couldn't find anything from legit sources that said that only the Halo 3 X-Box would get the new chip. I believe that any consoles manufactured in 2007 came with the new chip and that only the 2006 models were affected. However, if you're really going to buy one, check out the box as it should say what chip it has in it.
The chip is NOT out yet for any system. Microsoft is waiting until all of the old consoles are purchased before they start on the new chip. The 65nm chip wont be out until at least December.So whats up with the 65nm chip?
I think that the reason the halo 3 xbox 360s are "known" for having the falcon chipset is because they've been brought in newer than the other consoles. It's not that lots 0735+ for premium and elites don't have them, it's just that they haven't been seen in stores yet. I'm sure that the falcon chipset was implemented into the elites and premiums the same time as the Halo 3 Special Edition was, late lot 0734 (Manufacturing date August 24th or later). The problem is that the old ones without the falcon chipset aren't being sold fast enough to get the new ones in quickly enough. I hope this answered your question!
