45nm? I thought this was coming this year for the PS3?

45nm RSX is coming out February next year I think, 45nm Cell is already out I think, I think they are working on the 32nm Cell....

 

 

yes.

but i guess mass production won't be here til end 2009

I don't get it.

Why doesn't Sony (or whomever for that matter) just rush to make the 32nm Cell or RSX?

Why do they have to go down sizes in increments?

Couldn't they have went straight from 90nm to, say, 45nm for example?

 

It's harder to make a larger tech leap = more dev time = less units on market = less money. It's as simple as that. It's not that they can't do it, it's just it would take longer for them to develop and thus they would make less money.
