After months of anticipation and speculation, revised Xbox 360 consoles built around the new Jasper platform have finally appeared in the wild. Jasper employs an updated GPU manufactured using 65nm process, as opposed to the 90nm process used for the original revision. Other than the GPU, however, a few more changes have been made as well, as reported by the folks at Xbox-Scene

These new systems seem to have 256MB on-board flash storage...

That's because the NXE (or dashboard as it should be called now that it's out) has maxed out existing flash memory. It's future proofing consoles so that hard drive space doesn't need to be used for future dashboard updates.
