The New York Times > Technology > In Console Wars, Xbox Is Latest to Rearm: "Three and a half years after it entered the console market with the Xbox, Microsoft yesterday unveiled its successor, the Xbox 360, a creamy white console that is to go on sale in North America, Europe and Japan by the holiday season.

In sheer computing power, the new Xbox is capable of a trillion calculations per second, many orders of magnitude above the original Xbox. (The current box depends mainly on a 733-megahertz processor.) The heat generated by all that power will be drawn off by a water-based cooling system, something usually seen only in high-end PC's. "
