Notable Differences
- The 90nm Waternoose CPU has been replaced with the 65nm Loki CPU
- Around March 2008, fixed GPUs started being used in some units, but was not universally used until roughly June/July 2008.
- When the revised GPUs started rolling out, almost all boards started using Qimonda HYB18H1G321AF-14 RAM in a 4x128MB config
- Qimonda HYB18H512322AF-13 RAM has been replaced with Qimonda HYB18H512321BF-14
- When the revised GPUs rolled out, Hynix HY5RS123235BFP-14 and Qimonda HYB18H512321BF-13 RAM are no longer used
- The V_CPUCORE voltage regulation is now 2 phases, down from 3 phases, but the pads and silkscreen for the third phase still remain
- The V_CPUVCS rail was added for the Loki CPU
- The board layout has been modified to support the Loki CPU
- The J7G3 Titan connector on the front of the motherboard was left on the final motherboard
- Some later boards use solid state capacitors for the CPU and GPU output filters
- The heatpipe CPU heatsink was replaced with the aluminum CPU heatsink, however some early boards did not have this change

- 8x64MB Qimonda HYB18H512321BF-14 (Early Boards)
- 4x128MB Qimonda HYB18H1G321AF-14 (Mid/Late Boards)
- XSB R0 Southbridge
- HANA
- Nand
- 16MB Hynix HY27US08281A (Retail)
- 64MB Samsung K9F1208U0B (Dev)
- Boardcom or ICS Ethernet PHY
- Aluminum CPU Heatsink
- Heatpipe CPU Heatsink used on early units
- Extended GPU Heatsink
Opus
The Opus name describes a project of fitting a Falcon board into the casings for a Xenon. This was done with a custom A/V port and the removal of the HDMI port. Opus was used for refurbishing defective consoles until the Elpis boards started being produced.
Notable Differences
- Removal of the HDMI port
- Custom A/V port to fit the HDMI board layout while being able to fit into the Xenon casing
- All Opus boards use revised versions of the Rhea GPU with higher Tg underfill
- All Opus boards use 4x128MB Qimonda HYB18H1G321AF-14 RAM
