Zeus, codename Y3, is a 65nm GPU and is used on the Jasper motherboard. It is the successor to Rhea. The 65nm process shrink required a partial redesign of the chip. The eDRAM was unchanged. Zeus was the first version of the GPU where all variants are known to be reliable. The 65nm redesign was done by Microsoft themselves, not ATi.
