| goddog said: artical is claiming it will be the same chip, not same family but same chip, (die shrunk being the only change as that is already happening in current units) its not just basesed on the cell, its the same cell as in the ps3 is what they are saying, I had thought they would advance the cell a bit. also the mention of going back to standard ram ddr series, is interesting, it seems they want to keep cost down. |
I hate to tell you this, bro, but that would make it a... *drumroll* PS3, albeit a cheaper version to make. We see those every 6 months already, about. Does the first 80GB model qualify as the "PS4" and then the new 40/80GB are the "PS5"? Is the "PS6" around the corner? No.
I think you're misreading the article. It mentions more cores, and increased performance (albeit minor, relative to gains of the PS3 over the PS2, for example) -- that's not the same Cell, now is it? Even the title says "based on".
