talkingheads Since my post about Frank Sinatra's "Watertown" album almost... sort of... kind of...
well, okay, came straight out and advocated downloading that out of print Frank-o-phile obscurity,
this post will argue that sometimes the record industry does come up with some stuff worth
buying... First off, it's bugged me for years --since the Napster days-- that the public is willing
to put up with crappy sounding MP3 files! I simply do not get it! An MP3 is NOT a digital copy of
exactly what's on the CD. Well, that's not quite true because it is a digital copy, it's just a
poor sounding one, comparable to, say, a black and white Xerox of an oil painting. It ain't the
same thing, not by a long shot. Compare a 128kbps MP3 file of just about any song to the version of
the CD and you'll see what I mean. Maybe not on your computer speakers or on your iPod, but on a
proper stereo system, even in the car, there's a huge difference. There's been a little-noticed
effort on the part of the music industry to cater to audiophiles in recent years: SACD, DVD-A, and
5:1 surround remixes go quite some distance in stepping it up for those of us who like to kick
back, relax and actually LISTEN to our music. But sadly, few seem to care or even to have noticed,
although many major artists (The Rolling Stones, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, John
Coltrane, The Kinks, Pink Floyd, Elton John, etc) have had substantial portions of their back
catalogs reissued in these formats. These releases have largely fallen on deaf ears as no one seems
to be buying them. "Dark Side of the Moon" aside, these steroid-pumped recordings tend to disappear
quickly after they've been released....br style="clear: both;"/ img alt="" style="border: 0;

Quote: Jasper Hunting 101: Waiting for the 65nm Xbox 360
Date: October 6th, 2008
Topic: Gadgets
Manufacturer: Microsoft
Author: Michael Andrawes
I've been pestering Anand for the past coupled of months with every shred of evidence or rumor that
relates to the launch of Microsoft's updated Xbox 360 motherboard codenamed "Jasper." Finally, he
got sick of hearing about my obsession, so he asked me to write it up for AnandTech. I think the
real reason is just to reduce the clutter in his IM logs ;) So here I am...
So, what's the big deal with Jasper? Well, it finally brings a 65nm GPU to the console, which
should run much cooler than the current 90nm GPU that's been there since launch. Why does that
matter? The 360 is now infamous for the "Red Ring of Death" (aka RRoD) failure and many hypothesize
that this is related to overheating issues. The Falcon motherboard introduced a 65nm CPU shrink to
help combat heat issues, but unfortunately, the GPU remained at 90nm (possibly with a slight
redesigned or possibly even a half-node 80nm shrink). Overall the Falcon-based 360s run cooler and
quieter than earlier models and seem to be more reliable so far. The RRoD has not been completely
eliminated, however, and many of us have been waiting for the 65nm GPU update before actually
buying a 360 - myself included. The exact reasons for the Xbox 360 reliability issues is not the
purpose of this article, but I hope that Jasper will fix it. That said, we won't know what impact
Jasper will have on reliability until they've been out for about a year or so.
I had a variety of reasons for waiting until approximately this point in time to buy a 360, but
with all speculation pointing towards Jasper being out sometime around now, I couldn't help but
wait a bit longer for the latest and greatest. At the same time, I have a fiance breathing down my
neck about getting Rock Band, so I've been doing my best to track down a Jasper-based 360 before
she kills me. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done.
You see, the Jasper has not been documented in the wild just yet, so we're all working on
speculation and rumor at this point. Engadget jumped the gun the other day based on some bad
information from another site. The story was then picked up by a number of media outlets despite
the retraction from Engadget. The result is mass confusion about the true status of Jasper and my
primary goal here is to set that straight. My secondary goal is to help others identify Jasper as
well.
Ok that's not true at all - my real goal here is to help identify Jasper in the wild so I can get
one ;) If I help you guys find one too, that's ok :)
What has been known for a while:
1. TSMC has reportedly been producing 65nm GPUs for Microsoft since early this year. Note, this is
just the GPU chips themselves.
2. A number of rumors pointed towards a late August or early September build date for Jasper
motherboards.
3. Delays can happen.
Thanks to a thread over on 8bitjoystick, a number of us have been trying to track down any
additional information that might help us ID these consoles, preferably without actually opening
them and looking at the GPU directly. Here's what we've found (we being myself, 8bitjoystick,
Knoxximus, Jediman, and others in that thread).
1. Microsoft has registered a 150W PSU with a model number virtually identical to some of the 175W
PSUs currently included with Falcon-based 360s. Both 110V and 220V models are listed.
2. The current output on that PSUs 12V rail is rated at 12.1A.
3. All of this is right in line with estimated power reduction from a die-shrunk GPU.
4. The 12V current demands of the console are clearly listed on the console itself, right next to
the serial number. Falcon was 14.2A; earlier models (Zephyr and Xenon) were 16.5A.
I propose that the 12.1A power rating listed on the back of the console will be the most reliable
way to ID a Jasper without opening it up. It still requires opening the factory packaging, but once
you do, you should know what you've got inside. The first units may still come with 175W PSUs, just
like many of the first Falcons came with the original 203W PSU. Unfortunately, Microsoft has
stopped listing the PSU power output on the outter packaging, so we can't use that as an indicator
of what's inside. At least one person has stated that their early Falcon still had a rating of
16.5A, but I've been unable to verify this.
Some other potentially useful power information: Anand has already documented the Falcon to use
~100W at the dashboard and ~120W while playing Halo - a full 50W less than Zephyr. I'd expect
Jasper to also be up to 50W less than that, although that's just an educated guess for obvious
reasons. This is power draw at the AC outlet with a Kill-a-watt or similar meter. The numbers may
not work out perfectly on an early Jasper if it's using a 175W PSU, but it should still be less
than the Falcon numbers.
So far, nobody has found a Jasper, so the exact weeks of manufacture and therefore lot numbers are
still unknown. The original rumors would point towards weeks 34-38 being the first Jaspers, which
corresponds to a lot # of 0834 to 0838. This information of course has not been verified since none
have actually been spotted in the wild. Then there's the issue of which manufacturing team will
make them first. Again, we don't know since nobody has one, but team FDOU had the first Falcons
last year. What I can tell you is that 0833 from FDOU is the newest I can find documented anywhere
and it's still a Falcon by all accounts.
The last trick that may or may not be beneficial is trying to look through the vents for changes in
the heatsink design or inductor layout. These tricks were well documented for identifying Falcons,
but nobody knows for sure exactly what Jasper will actually look like. More than likely, we'll see
a revised GPU heatsink that's cheaper to produce since the cooling requirements will be reduced.
That would likely mean no copper heatpipe, something that is currently visible through the
vents.
Other things that need to be clarified:
1. I mentioned it above, but it's worth reiterating: nobody has actually laid hands on a Jasper
outside of Microsoft and their manufacturers.
2. Microsoft is not going to officially talk about Jasper. There will be no press release. They
will not respond to questions about it. Not from us, and certainly not from any random person
calling them up. If they announced anything, it would make it quite hard to sell the old stock and
it would admit that their old units were less reliable. Besides, this running change would have
happened even if there were no effect on reliability because it's a cost cutting measure - the very
same one that enabled the recent price drops. Their repair centers doesn't know anything
either.
3. Retailers don't care. Being an unofficial, running change in the manufacturing means that
nothing official will go to the retailers either. In other words, they have no idea what models
they have, and nor do they care. A Jasper-based 360 will look just like a Falcon or even
Zephyr-based 360 to them. They make the same amount of profit on each unit and they have zero
incentive to try to sell all the old stock first. Forget all the conspiracy theories regarding the
retailers or their employees.
4. Employees don't care. Getting employees to check this out for you is difficult. Most of them
don't get it and wouldn't care even if they did. A refusal to check is more an indication of lack
of motivation to do something so seemingly strange rather than them trying to prevent you from
getting the latest and greatest.
5. The whole Jasper thing is a hardware revision for cost savings and is completely unrelated to
any software updates, such as the upcoming dashboard experience.
6. We have no way of knowing if Microsoft has a plan to specifically implement Jasper in certain
models first (ie Elites before Arcades), but to date, the faster selling Arcades seem to be the
most recently produced models at my local stores. This may vary by locale however. I'd expect this
to be a running change that will not be targeted at a particular model though.
7. I've been wrong once or twice before, so take this all with a grain of salt ;)
Thanks again to all the guys/gals in the 8bitjoystick/Seattle PI thread. They deserve as much
credit as I do as it was our work together that helped uncover most of this. I'm just trying to
make this more public and clear up some of the confusion that's out there.
That's all I have for now. I'll post more as I find it. Link: http://anandtech.com/gadgets/showdoc.aspx?i=3424
And also of note is the SeattlePi blog:
http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/d...ves/147899.asp
Quote: The Xbox 360 motherboard "Xenon" had a 90nm CPU and 90nm GPU and no HDMI.
The Xbox 360 motherboard "Zephyr" had a 90nm CPU and 90nm GPU and HDMI.
The Xbox 360 motherboard "Falcon" had a 65nm CPU and 90nm GPU and HDMI.
The Xbox 360 motherboard "Opus" had a 65nm CPU and 90nm GPU, no HDMI and only included in repaired
"Xenon" system cases from Xbox repair centers.
The Xbox 360 motherboard "Jasper" will have a 65nm CPU and new 65nm GPU and HDMI.
They are currently working on the Xbox 360 motherboard "Valhalla" and that will have a combo 65nm
CPU/GPU on a single super chip and HDMI. Valhalla is not going to be out for a long time, at least
a year or more. Finally the article by Dean Takahashi who wrote "Opening the XBox" on XBox1 and is
writting a book on XBox 360 as well as reporting/recording the RRoD problems many gamers
experienced up to and after Microsoft took action with the extended warranty and is still a very
important article because many of those gamers who got RRoD ended up buying a newer XBox 360
consoles revision hoping to avoid the RRoD problem:
http://venturebeat.com/2008/09/05/xb...-console-woes/
This should be helpfull information for people curious about the new Jasper XBox 360 revision that
Microsoft is making available, whether it will fix the Red Ring of Death failiures is still unknown
but with a 65nm CPU & GPU the obvious benefits are cooler running chips that consumer less
electricity current and probably less fear of the system crapping out during heavy gaming sessions
or even movie viewing sessions as one of my friends is getting a 2 red light error on his XBox 360
premium and another experiences framerate slowdown during extended Halo 3 gameplay on his Falcon
X360 Elite.
It would be extremely interesting if someone could compare all the XBox 360 revisions with reguards
to power consumption and extended gameplay reliability such as 12 continous hours of heavy nonstop
online play (some are guilty of doing this and I myself used to do this back in XBox 1 Halo1 Lan
parties)

Publication Date: 2008 Sep 29 PMID: 18826959br/Authors: Lin, Y. - Tseng, G. - Cheong, S. Y. - Bean,
L. J. - Sherman, S. L. - Feingold, E.br/Journal: Bioinformaticsbr/br/MOTIVATION: Most genotyping
technologies for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers use standard clustering methods to
call the SNP genotypes. These methods are not always optimal in distinguishing the genotype
clusters of a SNP because they do not take advantage of specific features of the genotype calling
problem. In particular, when family data are available, pedigree information is ignored.
Furthermore, prior information about the distribution of the measurements for each cluster can be
used to choose an appropriate model-based clustering method and can significantly improve the
genotype calls. One special genotyping problem that has never been discussed in the literature is
that of genotyping of trisomic individuals, such as individuals with Down syndrome. Calling
trisomic genotypes is a more complicated problem, and the addition of external information becomes
very important. RESULTS: In this article, we discuss the impact of incorporating external
information into clustering algorithms to call the genotypes for both disomic and trisomic data. We
also propose two new methods to call genotypes using family data. One is a modification of the
K-means method and uses the pedigree information by updating all members of a family together. The
other is a likelihood-based method that combines the Gaussian or beta mixture model with pedigree
information. We compare the performance of these two methods and some other existing methods using
simulation studies. We also compare the performance of these methods on a real dataset generated by
the Illumina platform (www.illumina.com). AVAILABILITY: The R code for the family-based genotype
calling methods (SNPCaller) is available to be downloaded from the following website:
