Details

DD1.0

DD1.0, is the engineering sample of the XCPU, labelled XCPU-ES. It runs at 2.8GHz as opposed to the final speed of 3.2GHz. The ROM does not contain a 1BL, and thus these CPUs can only boot with a Titan board, which injects the 1BL. It still has the original Xbox logo as it was created before the Xbox 360 name was chosen.

• Part Number: X02046-001
• Foundry: Canada Foundry

DD2.0

DD2.0, is the production version of the XCPU running at 3.2GHz. It also contains a programmed ROM containing the 1BL. Versions with part number X02046-002 used in certain pre-final consoles were still labelled "XCPU-ES" and still had the original Xbox logo.

DD2.1

DD2.1 is a revision of DD2.0, with the notable change of reducing the TDP to 75W from the initial 85W. The part number remains the same, however the suffix may be different.

DD3.0

DD3.0 is a revision of DD2.1. It is not known what the difference between these two chips are.
