  Well thats pretty cool, less sound less heat.
  
  Im intrigued about this CPU+GPU="Superchip" thing.

  Not really suprising, they did this on the PS2 Slim models with a combination of the EE and GS on the same silicon.
  
  It doesn't make for a superchip, it just combines the technology into a smaller package. AMD and Intel are trying to aim for similar inclusions to reduce motherboard space consumption on PC's for entry level video.
  
  Given that processing is down to 45nm these days, it should be possible to scale the GPU and CPU of the 360 down onto a single die.
  
  Those a bit more versed in hardware would know that the processing ability of the GPU and CPU wouldn't be combined, instead they would work in a single pin array instead of across 2. The only possible benefit though is how the interconnect works to run commands between the GPU and CPU since there's less distance to overcome either way it wont change the potential of the chip, it may just result in faster data to the GPU or back to the CPU to compile.
