XBox360 Architecture

[gnomepunk]

I'm working on a paper for my computer architecture class and was given the topic of "Modern Console Architecture" by my prof. I was pretty happy with the assignment until I started looking for good solid information about the XBox360. I know it's a tri-core IBM PowerPC proc, but can't find any white papers/application notes on it nor the implementation of the proc in the XBox360. Have any of you guys run across any reputable sources on the XBox360 architecture?

Ars Technica has had some good articles on the Xbox 360's architecture:

Inside the Xbox 360, part I: procedural synthesis and dynamic worlds
Inside the Xbox 360, Part II: the Xenon CPU

They have a long series of articles on CPU design that are also very good:
