Microsoft Dumps Red Ring Death From Xbox 360 Games
Obviously, this is fun news, but it makes sense given the RROD joke allowing early Xbox 360 game where the failure rate once stretched as high as 54 percent. However the new models should be given to a rock jump 45nm CPU and GPU integrated chipset, low power consumption and lower noise levels.
Actually Anandtech Supreme geeks (we’re cool geeks) have the new model to the test and found the energy consumption decreased 2-2.3W on previous models with only 0.6 W while in games there are 30-50 percent savings. It is also described as “remarkably silent” in the operation if the drive does not go down as 54dBA to 51dBA, so best keep the installation of these games – especially with the new 250GB hard drive bigger.
Here is an interesting addition to the new Xbox 360 launch: Microsoft has removed the famous “Red Ring of Death” or RROD as he hath declared him. The new console continues to display a green ring when we’re working but if the worst happens then users will now be greeted by the red dot of death “(RDoD?).
“If you look at the success rate of the 360 original [or lack of], we are very proud of how both the company stepped up to support the clients we had and the rate of success we have with the box today, “said Microsoft Game Studios Phil Spencer VP.” I think we learned a lot. This learning has gone into the development of this box”.
