On launch the 360 had a 90nm CPU and GPU. The Falcon saw the 360 get a 65nm CPU, but retain the 90nm GPU. Now we have Jasper which sees the GPU get the 65nm shrinkage, and smaller memory chips

This is good news. This means less heat, and higher reliability. Also means a further cut in production costs.

While there unfortunately still aren't any pictures of the motherboard to completely put this thing to rest, everything else certainly seems to be pointing in the right direction, including a 150W power supply (25W less than the current models), a manufacturing date of 2008-10-23, an 0843X lot number, and a power adapter that most definitely won't fit in a Falcon console.

they're out in the US. Could be out here. Depends Necris. If the brick says 150w then it's a Jasper.

Just checked mine, the build date on this elite is 22.09.2008
Not sure what my old one is since its still out on repair.

I never got asked to send my power brick, even the first time I sent the old one back they never requested it and both times had the same issue (RROD).
