There were internet rumours weeks ago which suggested that the new ps3 models might be having the 65nm RSX chips. Well edepot now confirms that the newer models are indeed carrying the shrunk RSX chips

I guess thats good or.

this is good news

Me want one.

it is good news, what watt is it now

Noob question real fast:

What's the difference in nm mean? Is it just power usage?

nm is an engineering prefix of the size of the chip die, Basically by reducing the size the chip and making it thinner allows it to use less energy to do the same tasks and it also dissipates heat faster.

It also makes the console cheaper which hopefully leads to price cuts eventually. Smaller chip=less materials=less cost.

uses 140 watts

but dont the other one with the old rsx and use 140 watts???

its still specced as 140w max power usage if that list on this link is true.
doesn't mean it will really use that, maybe the list is not right on this or maybe sony did ot release teh specification yet. But in my opinnion it should be less power hungry with a shrinked gfx chip (the only question is how much they reduced it).

but i guess biggets point for sony in that shrink was the size reduction of the chip, 90nm to 45nm shrink should cut chip sizes down by 40-50% (which also means that they probably can get taht chip now ~40% cheaper)
