They do not want it to be power horse but want it to be a superb performance oriented device. This processor has three cores with 32 KB cache of memory on each of the core and the clock speed was 3.2 GHz. Now the processor is changed and now it is called Falcon with minimum chips down to the 65 nm fabrication process thus the cost of production reduces and the size ha been scaled down considerably.

Xenos GPU: Microsoft uses ATI in its Xbox 360. It was based on ATI’s new r^)) architecture. Here the two major aspects of GPU hardware has been merged called the vertex and pixel. ATI put them in the same place to reduce the heat and the burnt of power consumption within the GPU. Sadly the out put broguth by ATI gives more heat and that brings the infamous Xbox 360 “Red Ring of death”. After some time this fault hs been corrected. The Xenos GPU has a core clock speed of 500 MHz and 10 MB RAM embedded wit it.

Then hard disc of Xbox 360 are in a proprietary Microsoft format and thus can not be augmented with higher limit of storage capacity. The core is called Arcade with built-in-flash memory. The higher end models of Xbox 360 come with high value of hard disc storage capacity.
