Rumours are slowly spreading across the internet that from around the start of next year Microsoft will be upgrading the Xbox 360's internal processors.
The main reason behind this is to try and reduce the heat produced from the current chipset; which many people have had over heating issues with. The new chipset will use a 65nm process instead of the 90nm chips used to date which should allow for the system the run more efficiently and cooler than the console’s current 90nm chips.
Unfortunately its unlikely that Microsoft will take this opportunity to boost the speed of the Xbox 360. Although a shame in some respects its also a good thing as I'm pretty sure I would not want to have to go out and buy a new box just because of the upgrade.
But we shall have to see what comes of this rumour, if anything. Let us know your thoughts on this issue on our forums.
