this is good for sony(they get paid and the format will be pushed further)and microsoft will give their customers what they want,,,,,but there is no way in hell that they could have the price advantage over ps3.

Cheaper processors and graphics chips. Another switch down in die-size due in August..........

 

 the 45nm graphic card and 45nm cell will be in production in august,,,, so ,MS is not the only company downsizing,,,hell,sony is much more experienced in this field as they are an actual hardware company.

 

Microsoft would be more familiar with things such as die shrinks etc because they're a computer company... You can go round and round all day like this if you want.

Sony seems to produce decent software for being such a badass hardware company don't they?

As for the graphics card - computer cards aren't even at 40nm yet (TSMC process node not 45nm like Intel/AMD) , so why would they move their GPU that quickly to a new node?

Ahh and lastly, even if they've shrunk the chips they may not be cheaper. 65nm is becoming a commodity node, so producing chips here could quite possibly be cheaper and have higher yields.  Things like yields and such which are initially lower for new process nodes which counter act the savings from using less silicon can make quick jumps into disasters if they don't get the process right.
