Actually I se it happening. Intel already announced they expect 11nm by 2014 and if the PS3 lasts the full 10 years they expect or close to it they can release the PS4 in 2014 with an 11nm Cell because IBM is always faster at shrinking their CPUs then Intel and the Cell is an IBM product. Also while that chart says somethings like I said back ages ago in one of the first posts in this thread. Sony already has a chart representing the evolution of the Cell. They stated in 2005 11nm by 2014, Cell v2 will be in the PS4 after 11nm is acheived, and a Micro Cell will be in the PSP2. |
By 2014, much more possible. I thought you said by next gen, which would be 3-4 years (2012-2013). I guess I don't see why they would keep shrinking it, though, after the next gen starts. Did they keep shrinking the PS2's chips after the PS3 launched? And it wouldn't actually launch a Cell v2 at 11nm then. Any new chip, especially one with that many added SPE's, will probably start at 45nm or 32nm at the smallest. But again I'm mostly going by Intel since I'm a big PC enthusiast, so with IBM perhaps it would be different.
