XBOX PURE?

According to a report over at Hexus, Microsoft's proposed major hardware redesign could also include a new name for the console.

Citing the same source that leaked evidence of the Xbox 360 Elite model in advance, a new leaked memo shows that the Xbox 360 revision could be called The Pure. The memo also shows that the revision so far has codenames "Lean" and "Granite" most likely alluding to a thinner case design and a new colorway.

The memo doesn't show any timetable that would make sense for the name change but will come with the upcoming Valhalla chip design. The new chip will move the CPU and GPU into a single chip and will have less power consumption as well as well as make the system cooler. Although there is no official timeframe for the release of the Valhalla revision, many believe Q1 2009 is the time when manufacturing will begin.
