It should be a lot smaller with the first redesign especially if they skip the 22nm process (which they really should) and wait for 14nm chips for the first redesign.  

There are no plans for a high performance 22nm or 14nm process by Globalfoundries. I wouldn't expect any process shrinks ever. Or any price cuts for that matter.


32nm chips will become obsolte eventually if it has a long life cycle like the 360 it will have at least one redesign.  Even the Wii got a redesign.  Also a die shrink is not always necessary for a redesign the PS3 super slim is pretty much the same hardware that was in the last version of the regular slim just rearanged and turned into a top loader.

They won't be obsolete if there's nothing to replace them that's cheaper.
