Microsoft is apparently upgrading the Xbox 360 CPU early 2007 a semiconductor manufacturer said.

Chartered Semiconductor of Singapore says that they will manufacture the Xbox 360 CPU with 65nm technology. The current Xbox 360 CPU is made with 90nm.

The reason for this move can be the over heating problem and of course cutting cost. I do not think Microsoft will improve the performance of the new Xbox 360, which would cannibalize the Christmas sales if consumers would get confused and think they better wait until the Xbox 360 with a faster CPU.

Believe or not, 4 months after its launch, the Xbox 360, was hacked by a team of smart guys that modified the firmware of its DVD-Rom.

“There are going to be levels of security in this Xbox that the hacker community has never seen before”, said Chris Satchell, general manager of the Game Developer Group at Microsoft Corp.

Basically this hack was made only by personal purposes, and the team that makes this possibly will not support piracy. So if you are asking on how to download this hacked firmware, I have some bad news for you… it is illegal and not released yet.

However… this is short video that show an Xbox 360 working with the new firmware. [Click here]
