The last two characters of the model number indicate what region the system is from. This begins with CECH, followed by a letter indicating what model the system is. It utilized a 45 nm Cell which resulted in a 34 reduction in power consumption over the previous 65 nm Cell model 6 the latest Slim model further decreases power consumption with the move to a 40 nm RSX and later 28nm on the CECH-43xx models. The RSX GPU has also seen reduction in size over periodic revisions of the PS3. This in turn results in production savings, lower heat production, lower cooling requirements and quieter running. The RSX has a floating-point performance of 251.2 GFLOPS. The GPU is clocked at 500 MHz and makes use of 256 MB GDDR3 RAM clocked at 650 MHz with an effective transmission rate of 1.3 GHz. PlayStation 3s Cell CPU achieves a theoretical maximum of 230.4 GFLOPS in single precision floating point operations and up to 15 GFLOPS double precision 1. The four-channel microphone on the Eye can block out background noise.Ī seventh runs in a special mode and is dedicated to aspects of the OS and security, and an eighth is a spare to improve production yields.

This brings me to my question, how can I tell which model it is by the serial number Any help will be much appreciated, thanks. I saw an Xbox tonight at my local thrift store and thought that maybe if its a newer model than mine, I can take out the heatsink and replace mine.
