Rumor: Xbox 360 slim model in the works

The above image is allegedly the motherboard for a new slimmer Xbox 360 model. The image shows that both the CPU and GPU have been combined into a single chip.

The leaked images come from Chinese BBS A9VG (via Kotaku). Apparently, testing on this new motherboard has recently completed in China.

Project Natal is set to launch by this holiday and Microsoft may want to do a relaunch such as the PS3 slim did last year – so a 360 slim would make a lot of sense. Whether it be true or not, we’ll be sure to keep you updated on the latest on this rumor.
