The Falcon is the successor to the Zephyr_C, and is used in the Original Xbox 360 series.
Notable Differences
- The 90nm Waternoose2 CPU has been replaced with the 65nm Loki CPU
- When the revised GPUs rolled out, around March 2008, all boards came with 4x128MB Qimonda HYB18H1G321AF-14 RAM
- Around March 2008, fixed GPUs started being used
- The CPU voltage regulation is now 2 phases, down from 3 phases, but the pads and silkscreen for the third phase still remain
- The board layout has been modified to support the 65nm CPU
- Other small changes were made to the board layout
- The J7G3 Titan connector on the front of the motherboard was left on the final motherboard

Opus
The Opus motherboard is exactly the same as the Falcon, with exception to a custom A/V port that is installed, and the removal of the HDMI port. These modifications allow the Opus to fit into the casings for a Xenon. This was used for refurbishing defective consoles until the Elpis boards started being produced. The part number is also the same as Falcon.
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' use 4x128MB Qimonda HYB18H1G321AF-14 RAM
