More on Xbox 360

Quite a bit of reading, so enjoy! Also, this video surfaced today with overly-excited Xbox 360 engineers discussing the hardware. Trust me, this six minute clip is twenty times more informative than the MTV show.

replyWow.
Nice video.
I can't believe that I'm actually excited about the release of a console. I guess thank god for HDTV making console games look about as good as PC games.

Exactly, don't get all excited that your next system will have a water resivour that will pump coolant over the tri-core CPU and next gen video chip. I mean not that a heat pipe isn't cool and all, but it's nothing that hasn't been in all of our laptops for the last 10 years.

it is a heat pipe nothing else.
I dunno where all the confusion comes from, a heat pipe normally (for CPU type temps) uses distilled water as the heat transport medium. As it is keept in vacuum, the water boils at around 50-60 degrees and evaporates, the heat pipe is hollow in the middle letting the vapour transfer to the 'cold' side, there it condenses and becomes liquid again, the pipe is layered on the inside with something called 'wick' normally a pourous structure, this 'absorbs' the water and by capillarry forces transfer the water back to the 'hot' side. ad-infintum.
Its just a (very good) heat transfer device.
