Just recently announced by Sony, a few major components will be receiving dye shrinkage within the next few months. The components receiving the shrink is the CELL and RSX. The heart and brain of the PlayStation 3.
What is dye shrinkage though? Its the process when the general core or cores of a processor and/or all the transistors are made smaller. Doing this reduces heat and lowers power consumption. Production costs are also lowered greatly as more processors can be made out of each wafer.

CAN'T WAIT
the 45nm chips will be interesting, perhaps the fanless model Japan HQ was talking about will become a reality.
It's funny how every time I decide to finally buy myself a PS3 something new is introduced. When I wanted to get the old 60Gb, suddenly 80Gbs was announced. I decided to give it time and later when finally got my money, 40Gb was introduced. I tought about getting the 40Gb before December and now, it says 65nm ones are coming out and later, 45nm Cells.
cuts cost, and makes the ps3 cheaper, plus on the power bill, win win for all i see, ;)
Disagree and agree ?
So bubble me guys comon you guys leme PWN 360 noobs here
