My 360 just RRoD, no E74 though. Now I wish it did E74...

GODDAMMIT! I also had to pay to get my last Xbox replaced because of the E74!
You bet your ass I'll call them! Watch out India, here I come!

xGeneral DEATHx,
Surprisingly, it has very little to due with the actual R&D of the components and more to do with Microsoft's efforts to reduce manufacturing costs to as low as possible when production was being ramped up for launch. In essence, once ATI churned out the design, Microsoft ran straight to TSMC with their own implementation of Xenos rather than contract an ASIC vendor to do the work. By cutting out the "middleman" Microsoft was going to save millions of dollars in manufacturing costs...had they any actual experience physically designing GPUs. The RROD plague began and didn't start to abate until 2 things happened: they moved Xenos to a smaller manufacturing process and, perhaps more importantly, they went to an ASIC vendor (funnily enough, ATI) and had them redesign the chip in order to fix its flaws. It also didn't help that they went with cheaper backplates (probably in order to save a dime) for both the CPU and GPU; when an irreparable RROD does happen without giving up the blue genie, it's because the GPU unseats itself too far from the motherboard. In essence, because Redmond was pinching pennies, their final product's build quality was relatively piss poor.
You see the same thing with certain videocard manufacturers, too (since both ATI and NVIDIA are fabless companies that don't physically make their own products). Three great examples are Diamond, Powercolor, and Visiontek when they released revised HD 4870s this past year in order to cut production costs. They opted for cheaper fans and a less beefy heatpipe assembly. The cards were a little cheaper to make than ATI's own reference design, but it didn't take long for widespread complaints of fan failures and overheating to occur. Diamond's card in particular were known for the VRMs burning up, turning a then $250-$300 card into a glorified paperweight. Customer's avoided them like the plague, either going with the reference designs those three offered or turning to the likes of Sapphire or HIS (both of which actually know something about making quality, custom designs). It goes to show that while the technology may be great on paper, how you actually manufacture the product determines whether or not it'll last. |
