Dual core G5, 1 MB L2 cache, 3GHZ working frequency.
OMG OMG bbb..bbbbut is the Xenon CPU????

Geez my PowerMAC G5 has cooling problems as it is with a single core, I wonder how they're going to solve this with the dual cores.

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, don't 2.5Ghz G5 processors produce so much heat that they actually require liquid cooling systems? If that's the case, I really don't see how Microsoft could fit two 3Ghz cores on the same die and not have to spend rediculous amounts on a cooling system just to keep it running, not to mention the fact that Xenon is supposed to be significantly smaller in size than the Xbox, I really don't think they'd be able to cool that sort of chip efficiently.

i belive that 970MP and Xenon's core are different cpu.... like the cell's core based on "power pc technology"
