PS3 smaller Cell and/or RSX chips in August?

Generic News 1994 Published by

Word out on the street is that to cut PS3 costs earlier than expected there will be upgaring the Cell architecture. At the moment, Sony sells the PS3 at a loss. The respected group of analysts is now earmarking August as the milestone month. Sony's CFO recently suggested that the move would occur in the second half of year -- a date analysts then pegged at November.

No precise info is shared yet the new expectations were provided by Nikko CG. However, it's safe to assume that the PS3's break-even event will be realized by a switch to a sub-65nm cell processor, sub-90nm RSX graphics chip, or both, since the smaller chips are less-costly to manufacturer.
