Robbie Bach about RRoD: 'we have a much better design in the market now'
>> From spong.com:
[QUOTE]
Speaking to investors, Microsoft's president of the Entertainment and Devices division, Robbie Bach, has indicated that the 360 has a new design that sidesteps the infamous 'Red Ring of Death' problem.

"It's a design challenge that we've had to work around and create a new design to solve that problem, and for the interaction of a variety of different components. And so that's a Microsoft design question, not some component manufacturer's problem or our manufacturing partner's problems. It's something we've had to work on. We know we have a much better design in the market now. We verified that."
[/QUOTE]

We're not sure what Bach is talking about here. Spong assumes he's talking about the Xbox360 Elite, but I didn't see Bach say that. He could be referring to the 'glued' GPU, the new heatpipe to the GPU heatsink or maybe the new 'Falcon' motherboard with 65nm CPU/GPU is already in production (was originally expected for this summer).
