Confirmed: The new 80 gig PS3s have 65nm RSX chips

There were internet rumours weeks ago which suggested that the new ps3 models might be having the 65nm RSX chips. Well edepot now confirms that the newer models are indeed carrying the shrunk RSX chips

Now SONY is making profit off every ps3 sold

ruibing5795d ago

I hope so but it's hard to say since there are many cost (e.e.g marketing, tech support, warranty) embedded with the sale of each PS3. At the very least, this will help improve the life and cost incurred by the PS3. The PS3 is all about the software this year, so I think the main profit will come from its big exclusive titles.

TheXgamerLive5794d ago (Edited 5794d ago )

in fact there's a chance per sony that that won't happen for a few more years.

they've lost some 1 billion plus dollars on the ps3 and design cost of the cell so no, there not profiting yet, lol.

Kyur4ThePain5795d ago

Maybe I don't understand...how does a table on some website confirm this?

Jamie Foxx5795d ago (Edited 5795d ago )

with backwards compatibilty and card readers for any other model

LinuxGuru5795d ago

Well that brings us one step closer to a slim PS3!

lol

Jamie Foxx5795d ago (Edited 5795d ago )

aslong as the slim keeps the vacuum cd drive its all good,people forget about that feature but it reaks of quality,lets you know your piece of kit is quality and was built NOT to look out of place next to your hd tv

bubbles linux totally forgot about the slim

LinuxGuru5795d ago

Yeah, A slot drive is easier to put in a smaller device.

That's what apple uses in their Mac Mini, and even what the Wii uses.

So a slim PS3 should hopefully retain the slot-loading mechanism.

barom5794d ago

w00t! this means production costs has gone down and we might be able to expect another price cut.

RememberThe3575794d ago

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no

zo6_lover275795d ago

65nm chips are cheaper to produce than 90nm chips, and they were breaking even when they had the 90nm, so they are more than likely making a profit now.

TheColbertinator5795d ago

If this is true,we might see a price cut in the future

mfwahwah5794d ago

Sony needs to make a profit, so I'm not expecting one any time soon.

lsujester5794d ago

Not as long as they are still selling. When they start consistently losing to MS again, then we'll see the price cut.

I agree. 9 was awesome

Shaolin Monks next please

vTuro245h ago

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

vTuro245h ago

That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.

The Industry Needs To Modernize These 6 Fantastic Classics

The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.

Knightofelemia1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
