XBox 360 To Get A New Motherboard Called “Jasper”
Posted October 11th, 2007 by Alex Ion
The gaming experts, Kotaku, just let go of a rumor on the market, that Microsoft is working on developing a new motherboard for XBox 360 that will use smaller ATI graphics chips, 65nm, and smaller memory chips all of these in the attempt of reducing costs and heat.
Called “Jasper”, the upgrade was announced by Mercury News and should go live somewhere in August 2008. Considering that when XBox 360 upgraded to Falcon motherboards, Microsoft reduced the price by $50, so I wonder if it will be worth it this time because 10 months it’s a lot of time and unless they have a cheaper solution Wii and Sony will take the lead.
