January 31st, 2007
According to PlayStation Universe, Sony has started manufacturing the Cell processor using 65 nm SOI technology. The PS3s on the market today have a 90 nm Cell chip, while the new 65 nm will not only be cheaper to manufacture, it will also be cooler and require less power. This could result in cheaper PS3, but considering that Sony is already losing a load of money on every PS3 they sell, it’s highly unlikely that consumers will see a price cut this year. The Cell is also used in IBM’s cluster servers and in various products from Toshiba.
