1up has rightly said that the shocking thing that the new Xbox360 brought with its launch is no cooler and 65nm GPU. The support of 65nm GPU had already been rumored a lot; now DigiTimes is reporting that the Xbox360's GPU will be shrinking in size very soon.

The new 65nm Xenos chip will make new Xbox360 smaller in size due to its small size and less power consuming system, and hence cooler that prior model with 90nm chip since the greater power consumption gets dissipated as heat that makes the console hotter.

The new chip with smaller dimensions makes it occupy lesser space and high competence, making Xbox360 more efficient console.

According to DigiTimes, Chinese-language Commercial Times reports that the Xbox360 will receive its hardware patch this Fall. The culprit is 90nm chip that makes things warm, so we can hope a cooler and quitter Xbox360 sometimes this fall, it's really fascinating me.

If the rumor turns out to be true, eventually we can hope a price cut as well since the smaller chip comes with lesser manufacturing expenditures and hence lo-priced Xbox360. Therefore, I am foreseeing a low-priced Xbox360 on the cards.
