Sony - PS3 mini incoming? - View Post

I really hope we see the next PS3 re-design this year.

It has been three years since Cell shrank to 45nm, and it is about time it should go down again. I expect to see a 32nm or even a 22nm chip, and RSX could see a shrink to 28nm.

If they can pull this off the current PS3 form factor would be a waste. We all have seen the first shrink, and the 360 shrink. If the chips get smaller, everything gets smaller. In the end, if they can package a lighter smaller PS3 it saves them money on shipping, and gives them more shelf space in stores.

And it's way cheaper, too, because they need less materials.

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.
