360 and Jasper performance

[x2 3600 rules sazakky]

Will this JAsper gpu really make any performance increase for the 360.

No. Cosnoles don't change CPU speed or GPU speed/cores within a generation, the die shrinks are to reduce cost.

Cutting power use is just a bonus. Fixing RRoD is easier with a smaller, cooler core but that could have bern accomplished with a new cooling system instead. That would increase cost though. With the die shrink the GPU cost goes down and the existing cooling system works better.

An example: The PS2 Slim is spiffy, but Sony made it (and keeps refining it) to save themselves money reducing manufacturing, warehousing and shipping costs.

This info would be a good addition to the FAQ.

Is there a character limit, or space limit, on Anandtech usernames? I'm guessing no.

At least he has spaces in his name.

Funny how he has "x2 3600" in his username, but according to his signature, his rig has an X2 3500+.

I don't remember the exact name, but at one point there was a user with a name along the lines of "36characterusernamelimi".

I thought it was funny.
