if you are referring to a slim ps3 that would probably be true, but as soon as IBM can make a 45nm reliable cell proccessor it will be in the ps3 because 1)less energy = smaller[cheaper] power supply 2) less heat = smaller [cheaper] fan |
I think you're referring to the fact that IBM has indeed managed to produce a 45nm Cell (a few months ago, as I recall), but its not in mass production yet, and I doubt we'd see a redesigned PS3, that takes advantage of it, until late 2009 at the earliest.
It takes a good long while to redesign a console to use a completely new chipset, based on a smaller process. A slim PS3 won't happen until next year at the earliest, because its a whole lotta new parts to put together in a whole new box, and you need to do it in factories that are all equipped with the new process, as well. IBM has managed to produce a 45nm Cell (I wish I had the link handy... it wasn't very long ago)... but it'll be a bit before said processor finds its way into the PS3 for the reasons I mentioned.
