Sony and Toshiba Making 45nm Cells
Both Sony and Toshiba are working on making a smaller chip, and plans on mass producing the 45nm chip, beginning of 2009. The end result is saving the power in PlayStation 3’s by 40%.
This also brings into wonder if Sony is also working on a PS3 slim, and maybe a price cut.
As usual, smaller chips mean less heat, less space, and more reliability.Engadget suggests that this new hardware revision could usher in a price cut and a PS3-slim model. All seems logically sound, though — even if the chips were produced early in the year — we still wouldn’t see the end product until late 2009 at the very earliest. So if you’ve been holding out for a PS3 until the slim comes into town … you’ve still got a long wait ahead of you buddy.
