45nm for Wii? A future Wii redesign?

There has been a lot of threads about PS3 and X360 making the jump to the 45nm technology, making production costs go down and making the consoles more efficient and reliable.

As far as I know Nintendo has never announced that they will use 45nm technology on the Wii but it seems like a natural move since they will lower production costs and make even more profit from every console sold. Do any of you know if Nintendo will do this?

 

As for the second question of the title, do any of you think the Wii will be redesigned? Nintendo has never redesigned consoles (only handhelds) and I don't know if the Wii could possibly be made any smaller than it is right now, although that isn't really necessary it would be very cool. Maybe using 45nm technology they could!

The PSP is on par with the PS2 in technical specifications, and the Wii must be about 4 times more powerful than a PSP, that difference in power wouldn't make a big difference in size!So maybe someday the Wii will be the size of a PSP just being bigger because of the DVD drive! And of course leaving the power brick outside the console.

Any possibilities here?
