Toshiba, manufacturer of the ever-controversial PlayStation 3 chips Cell and RSX, plan to create the graphics processing RSX at a 65nm process next month according to Nikkei.
The chip has been manufactured at a 90nm process since before the PS3's launch last November. The smaller die size of the chip will equate to less system heat, leading to less fan noise, creating a more reliable PS3. In addition, it should help cut hardware costs for Sony, which will eventually lead to cheaper prices for the consumer.
The Cell is currently created at a 65nm process, a smaller size than the 90nm seen at launch. It is generally believed that the switch in size allowed Sony to price the 40GB SKU at USD 399.
Unsurprisingly, Nikkei also reports that Sony will reduce the processes for PS3 chips to 45nm in either Q3 or Q4 of the 2008 fiscal year, once again benefiting both the company and the consumer.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Title Should be SONY Starts going GREEN. saving power = saving enviornment also means less system wear and tear which also saves the enviornment. Although i am sticking with my Big A$s 60gig Version :D
