I read it as "some or all internals new except wireless".



Jandre002 on 21 February 2008

Yea the original poster worded it like that. Im seeing potentially changes to all internals, but I think they specify that the wireless remains the same so they dont have to re-test that.

Maybe this is 65/65 nm model, replacing the 65cell 90RSX model?

well, wireless chip is small, so there's no need to change that.

I think this is the filing for PS3 Slim, where all components get shrinked, from CPU to GPU to power supply to harddrive.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

Too soon. I doubt we will see a PS3 Slim until next year at the earliest and it definitely won't happen before Sony gets the Cell to 45nm. The power brick on the thing would be obnoxious and to truly get a Slim model, the fans have to get a big shrink or disappear entirely. That's not going to happen yet.

Yesh^ I agree w. you. The PS3 still has to pay up for sony. When it does sony should consider a ps3 slim
plus if they did it now no one would buy it b.c it would be very very very expensive...

I'd count on lower power consumption/component cost than any "slim" version at this point. Probably the second.



Jandre002 on 21 February 2008

This console uses the same voltage as the old 40 gb. Could this be possible with 65nm/65nm chips?

Is there any way to tell from testing if chip sizes have shrunk?
