nope… not all new premiums have that falcon board and chip… its a very mixed bag… they are trying to get rid of old xbox stock and this is the perfect time of season… Some people have been lucky enough to get them, but so far NO ELITES, some prems, and the most are comming in the halo 3 model. At first people thought it had to do with lot number and team and manufacture date, but there have been people who get a zephyr board out of lot for example 737 team fdou with a date of 9/22/07… they are just trying to get rid of old parts.

it will say what board right on the box:

The only sure way to tell if you got the 65nm chip and falcon board is to shine a flashlight through the side.
the launch board had 3 circular inductors standing upright
the zephyr had 3 laying down

I still dont buy in to all this hype that this is going to be the fix for the overheating issues… it has nothing to do with the CPU, its the GPU that is causing all the issues… Its overheating and coming off the board. But i guess in a few months we will see if these new chips and boards are going to make a difference or not.
