Cell Processor Shrinking Down
September 23rd, 2008 Posted in PlayStation 3
Engadget reports that Sony and Toshiba will begin production of a smaller 45nm Cell processor sometime next year.
As expected, the smaller version of the chip in the PS3 will result in less heat and power, as well as cost less than the current 65nm chip.
It is expected that the drop in cost of the PS3 processor could lead to price cuts for the console, though that is still some time off.
