wow, This is designed by Toshiba? After Sony sold its plant.

those guys sure know how to make a good processor.

so... cheaper production cost = price cut = smaller PS3 = save me money when I do Folding@home

 It should be designed by IBM Sony and Toshiba, and manufactured by Toshiba.

 I figued your list No where has it been stated that research into shrinking the CELL was going to be ended by Sony. 

As for power consuption. this is a giant NO CRAP. This is true for all of Intel's and AMD's processors too. 

Another thing is that with the smaller processor comes a smaller PSU and motherboard which will cut costs even more.

Now we need a 45nm RSX.
