This bothers me... I can never keep up with having the newest best piece of technology..

I was stoked about the 45nm cell in the ps3 slim, but now both CPU and GPU are 45nm.. Wow.

The info has been updated... apparently the GPU will be at 40nm, so it'll be a 45nm Cell / 40nm RSX unit.  Whoever heard of 40nm?!

while for GPU manufacturing, the "die shrink" usually first involves in shrink the die on a node not defined by the ITRS (for instance the 150 nm, 110 nm, 80 nm, 55 nm and more currently 40 nm nodes.

while in CPU's:

In CPU fabrications, it is noted that a "die shrink" always involves in an advance to a lithographic node

as by the ITRS:

example:

90nm to 65nm than to the 45nm nodes an so on.
