That thing got a HEMI in it?

Not exactly, but the new Xbox 360 Elite does have a Hitachi GDR-3120L FK78 DVD drive, a Fujitsu MHW2120BH 120GB hard drive, a new HDMI port with HANA Image scaler chip, and both the CPU and GPU show different revision information on their chips, this points to a lower power consumption as shown by some of the missing capacitors & transistors, having been removed on this revision of the motherboard and implying that a possible 65nm core, is in fact inside.

Thanks to the kind folks at Llamma.com for getting their hands on a new Elite and checking out what makes it really tick inside. It sure looks like Microsoft has made some much needed changes to help improve the 360. We can only hope that these changes are also taking effect on any future Core or Premiums that come out. Once again, if your thinking about getting a new console, take a good hard look at what the Xbox 360 Elite has to offer, its really set up for the first time game owner and in my mind its the Best Bang for the Buck!
