Opus, Valhalla, and Orion (Rumour)

Opus, Valhalla, and Orion (Rumour)
Published by wes213 on Friday, February 15, 2008

Today on seattlepi.nwsource.com a user who gose by the tag 8bitjoystick has made the clame that MS will be putting out 3 new motherboards for the Xbox 360, the new motherboards will be the Opus, Valhalla, and Orion.

8bitjoystick went on to say, "The Opus project is a "Falcon" generation motherboard designed to fit in a Xenon case. You can expect an 90 nm GPU but a 65 nm CPU. Opus solves a major hardware recycling and inventory problem since Microsoft currently has millions of used Xenon cases from RRODed dead systems and this lets them use most of the good parts from the millions of dead Xenons but with a newer tested more reliable motherboard."

"There is no HDMI on Opus since the Xenon cases don't have openings for the port. Opus is a third generation Xbox 360 in the case of a first."

If you can find any reason not to believe 8bitjoysticks rumour, it woldent be for a lack of details in his reports.
He has posted in his report that he had called the first real change to the Xbox 360 motherboards.
Now here he talks about the Valhalla and it sounds to be the big boy of the lot.
"Now they are also in the very early stages of designing the fourth generation Xbox 360 called Valhalla. Think Technoviking cool, we are your overlords."

"At the heart of a Valhalla Xbox 360 is a combined 65nm CPU and 65nm GPU on a unified super chip. This also would only need one cooling system and be much quieter and hopefully more reliable than previous Xbox systems (if they include hardware JTAG testing reporting into the design)."

Then it got cool as you see 8bitjoysticks psychosis go down hill as the majer paranoia set in with this comment, "It is really early in the design process but there are engineers at Microsoft working on it as you are reading this. Heck they are probably reading this since this is the first that you are going to hear about Opus and Valhalla."

This is just a rumour and we have no real proof to fall back on but i love a good Nostradamus prediction.
