Oh that's cool. If IBM switches to, say, a 22nm production node until the PS4 launch, I think it is safe to assume that it would be reasonable to employ such a POWER7 processor clocked at 4GHz or so and utilizing all eight cores. The die size of such a processor remains to be seen, but IBM usually economizes transistors, so to speak.
