The manufacturer are said to have designed a new interior based on 45nm technology, with a combined CPU/GPU motherboard, which could be delivered in a slimline case. A release in autumn 2009 was rumoured amongst online communities.

A spokesperson for MS said there were no plans for a new system in 2009, though whether this will be enough to silence the conjecture remains very much to be seen.
