Falcon

IBM 65 nm CPU

All Xbox 360 Premium machines and Arcade machines manufactured August 2007 introduced the new 65 nm CPU. The motherboard is based on Zephyr and the lower power requirements of the CPU results in fewer components necessary for power management. Elite machines will eventually be updated when the initial stock is sold out. Xbox 360 packages with LOT number 0734 or higher will most likely be Falcon machines.

  • IBM 65 nm CPU
  • Bigger and enhanced CPU cooler
  • No more X-Clamps to fasten the cooling elements
  • Fewer voltage regulators, capacitors and inducers
