And they can fit 4 * that performance into a box sized after the first Xbox for next Spring? Wow.

The set of heatsinks in the foreground appear to be either PC-chipset or VGA sink in size. The background heatsinks look like they're about the size of a stock AMD XP sink. What's kind of interesting is the size of the sink near what appears to be the voltage regulators- now that's pretty honkin' big.
