The older 80GB PS3 had a hardware PS2 GS in it, as well as additional memory card and USB ports, which might explain some of the additional power consumption over the recent 40GB model.
The 60GB PS3 had a hardware PS2 EE and GS, and of course used 90nm CPU and GPU chips. How much power did it consume?
Given the new 65/65 X360's supposed consumption of just over 100W, I would not at all be surprised if this new PS3 was also 65/65, and probably saving Sony a good chunk of money.
