It has recently been reported that chip manufacturer Chartered Semiconductor has postponed the mass production of the new energy efficient CPU for the Xbox 360.
Market sources are claiming that this chip might now be delayed by several months. It is not clear why the chips are late though.
The current Xbox 360 CPU runs on a 90nm chip, with Chartered Semiconductor planning to manufacture a new processor based on form factor of 65nm. Moving to 65nm will make the new chip both cheaper, quieter and more energy efficient, thus reducing heat build up in the 360.
