It is impressive how many different things Sony and its partners have done to bring the cost of the PS3 down. Processor and GPU shrinks; Blu Ray laser shrinks, Diode price reductions, removing the emotion engine, and so forth.

As someone said earlier, it's very apparent that Sony has done a much better job of cutting costs than Microsoft has.

As far as I know, the RSX is still 90nm. GPU process is always behind CPU process, dunno why exactly, but that's almost universally the case.

Anyway, I'm wondering how far out IBM is from a 45nm Xenon.

I think it's because they're much more complex compared to general purpose CPUs.
