The 65nm version of the Xbox 360 processor is now in full production, according to Chartered Semiconductor, the manufacturer of the CPU. Production began on the 65nm CPU, codenamed “Falcon”, in the last two quarters, and is expected to be in retail Xbox 360 units this Fall. The smaller and cooler CPU will certainly help the growing overheating problem that Microsoft is struggling with, not to mention that it’s quite cheaper to manufacture, something that should result in a price drop. Furthermore, the 45nm version is expected to be ready within 18 months.
