Zeus, also known as Y3 or Gunga, is a 65nm GPU used in the Xbox 360. It is the successor to Rhea. Initial variants used the C22 design, later variants used the C23 design. The 65nm process shrink required a partial redesign of the chip. The eDRAM was not shrunk and remains on a 80nm process. Zeus was the first version of Xenos where all variants are known to be reliable.

Details

X817793

The initial version of GPU Zeus using the C22 design. The ballout is compatible with the previous 80nm GPUs, however minor changes to the motherboard must be made.

  • Part Number: X817793
  • Foundry: Taiwan Foundry

X810478

A revised version of GPU Zeus using the C23 design. The specifics of what changed between the two designs is not known. This chip is a drop-in replacement for the earlier X817793 version of Zeus.
