  2. AMD to Give 20 nm Optical Shrinks to Console SoCs First

    Xbox 360 technical specifications - Wikipedia

    Scroll down to list of revisions. Die shrinks are not consumer relevant with consoles. They bring no performance changes because consistency is the entire point of them. Unless you're batshit crazy Nintendo that is, then you get the "new 3DS" half step BS.

    SHRINK C VOLUME TO SMALLER CAPACITY

    Hi,

    Thanks for replying to us with the status of your issue.

    While shrinking the volume, you cannot use the upper arrow because, while shrinking the system will take the max amount of space that can be shrink. However, you can use the down arrow button to reduce the amount of space, which you want to shrink.

    Since, both up and down buttons are not working, it might be an issue with system file corruption.

    I suggest you to try running System File Checker (SFC)
    and check if it helps.

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    To perform SFC Scan, refer to the below link:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

    Note: Steps mentioned for Windows 8/8.1, will work fine with Windows 10.

    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.
