The Zephyr motherboard has 3 different versions with very minor differences.

Zephyr_A

Zephyr_A is the successor to Xenon and is used in the Original Xbox 360 series. It is the first motherboard to feature HDMI.

Notable Differences

• Redesigned and cleaned up board layout
• Hynix HY5RS123235BFP-14 RAM was added as an option
• Samsung K4J52324QC-BC14 RAM has been replaced with Samsung K4J52324QE-BC14
• Infineon HYB18H512321AF-13 RAM has been rebranded and replaced with Qimonda HYB18H512322AF-13
• ANA has been replaced with HANA, which adds HDMI support
• The Cypress clock generator has been removed, and its functionality has been integrated into the HANA
• An HDMI port has been added
• The layout and specifications of the major filtering capacitors has changed
• All manufacturers now apply glue around the CPU and GPU

Zephyr_B

Zephyr_B is the successor to Zephyr_A and is used in the Original Xbox 360 series.

Notable Differences

• The 90nm Y1 GPU has been replaced with the 80nm Y2 GPU
• The PCIe pads under the GPU have been de-swizzled in order to support the Y2 GPU
• The extended GPU heatsink is always used, in place of the low profile GPU heatsink

Zephyr_C

Zephyr_C is the successor to Zephyr_B and is used in the Original Xbox 360 series. The part number is the same as Zephyr_B, as the PCB itself did not change.

Notable Differences

• The 80nm Y2 GPU has been replaced with the 80nm Rhea GPU, which shrinks the eDRAM to 80nm
