Sony to finish shrinking PS3 chips to 65nm this fall?

Filed under:

According to Next-Gen, PlayStation boss and Kaz Hirai claims that PlayStation 3s have done the same with Cell chips since last holiday season, and that Sony intends to finish the process of shrinking its major chips to 65nm with the RSX graphics processor this fall. Die shrinkage will mean a lot less to PlayStation buyers than it did to 360 owners suffering from the red ring of death on Microsoft’s less-reliable 90nm parts, but it still means Sony can save some cash on producing and cooling PS3s — and you shave a bit off your power bill.
