RUMOR: XBox GPU speed drop to 233 MHz

RUMOR: XBox GPU speed drop to 233 MHz
Found this on Beyond3D\'s console forum.


"CTW has been informed by an Xbox development source that the NVIDIA-manufactured graphics processor in the console will now run at 233Mhz, not 250Mhz as was previously announced. This is the second drop in speed for the chip, which was originally set to run at 300Mhz, and is being blamed on ensuring manufacturing consistency."



I don\'t know if this is true(i doubt it), but if it is, it\'s not exactly good, is it?
It\'s a small drop, 17 Mhz, but it all adds up.   If this keeps up it might drop down to the power of ps2.  Just kidding....

Yeah and you know there is a rumor that has been going around for over 100 years that there is this fat guy that comes down your chimney at christmas and put toys in your stockings and he has raindeers and one of them has a red nose. :laughing: yeah i doubt this is even semi-true

Erm, the hardware is final. Do you think they\'ll just produce them all the day before launch? :)

The only change that comes to mind since the Xbox was first shown is a 2gig upgrade on the hard drive which doens\'t effect anyone.  They finished the plants quite some time ago so the likelyhood of them not having started to build the consoles is extremely low.
