A Slimline Xbox One in the pipeline. It may see the light of day in 2015?

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-smaller-cheaper-cooler-xbox-one-processor-in-developmentChip designer AMD has developed a smaller, more cost-effective 20nm version of the main processor found in Xbox One, opening the door to a cheaper 'slim' version of the Microsoft console. The news comes from the LinkedIn bio of AMD's senior manager of SOC (system on chip) physical design, as discovered by Mosen from the Beyond3D forums. The entry in question says he "successfully planned and executed the first APU for Microsoft's Xbox One Game Console in 28nm technology and a cost-reduced derivative in 20nm technology."

I sorta like my bulky XBO
Everything Goes you don't happen to work for DS by any chance as this is the sort of traffic grabbing headline they like to use based on little to no proof.
And then a super slim version after that.
It's happened the past 3 generations of consoles, it will happen again.
Odds are it will happen eventually but to claim that one's in the works already is pure guesswork and speculation.
The title for this thread is actually worse than the DS article

[But yeah, I hate DS news. Always have]
The super slim is very ugly.
The launch phat PS3 with the chrome bits was the best.
Yeah I think it looks very sharp just the way it is, I know people take the micky but that only because they're jealous
having the heatsink right next to its internal power supply unit ... which of the two new-gen consoles do
you think is the one more likely to have potential system failures in future due to overheating?
As many of the men in here will know, size isn't everything, it's what it can do that counts
lol
I don't really notice mine now! ... It's dark early!

The fist slim was release aug/sep 2009
I personally have the last slim they made before the super slim, this uses similar / same power as the super slim - probably the best ps3 they released (came out summer 2011 I think) it was a quite hardware upgrade I think
I personally will buy the ps4 next year or when the slim comes out
Got an Xbox 360 'slim' too, 250gb hard drive.
It does the same job as it's bigger brother. Sooooooo the point in buying a 'Slim' would be what?
i dont dig the word "phat" though
slimmer normally means it will look and feel cheaper
the XB1 does feel like a quality product
Wrong use as well. Phat = good. Fat = big.
Much like the super-slim PS3
I wasn't keen on the X1 at first but now I'm quite fond of Big Ern
Big ern....
It has a name???
It won't overheat that's for sure! 👍
As it's big and I watched Kingpin last night it was what popped into my head.
