   More powerful CPUs? Change the name of the console if you do this! The older ones will have some problems with newer games that will only work with the newer Xbox 360 in a few years... I wonder if there's a ZIF socket in the Xbox... (People could get a CPU upgrade)And about getting the 360 compatible with other medias : It could be an internal upgrade too, since the drive is probably a SATA or IDE unit.

   Smaller core also means cheaper manufacturing per processor, so it's a logical move. Heat is also an issue in the Xbox 360 as has been reported before... looks and sounds heavy IMHO despite of the nice exterior design.

   I don't think that they will be putting a fast cpu in the Xbox 360. I think they are only going to be doing this to get rid of the heat problems for sure.

   Regardless of the reason for the change in processor, this is just further evidence that the 360 was released too early, before all the kinks were worked out.

   Whether it was released too early or not is a debatable subject, nevertheless the CPU thing should have nothing to do with it... PC processors get this kind of manufacturing "upgrades" all the time, which reduce cost and heat.
