Sony: new 40GB PS3 still using 90nm chips

PlayStation 3 - Image 1We recently made a report about the new 40 GB PS3 stating that it was using 65nm chips and had increased cooling powers to boot. Suffice it to say, however, that those reports seem to be erroneous. A Sony spokesperson recently told Heise Online that they were actually still using 90nm processing chips with the new PlayStation 3.

This isn't to say that the PlayStation 3 hasn't been improved, however. According to the report, the PS3 is still sporting a revised design that's supposed to lower power consumption. Instead of cranking out 180 to 200 watts, as previous PS3s were likely to do, the revised design lessens the power consumption to 120-140 watts instead, saving you both some power and a bit of cash as well.

Sony does still plan on implementing 65nm chips in the future. For now, however, it seems these 90nm chips will just have to do.

# What is the difference anyway?Constantinecy 2007-11-03 02:08
I dont know for sure, but I think there is no difference between the power of a 90nm chip and a 65nm (correct me if I'm wrong).



The difference however is the heat produced by the two chips, where the 65nm has sufficeintly lower heat emission and less power consumption.



For a console like the 360 though that was an one way road for MS, but still the proplems persit...



Now when it comes to the ps3 and its proven reliability epsecially to its heat disfusal capabilities, I think unless it offers more power then it is not actually needed in a ps3 at this moment.



But saving a few bucks on power whould be nice too.

Yes, only benefits are less power and lower cost to produce.



MS was moving to 65nm chips anyway because they are cheaper to make. And I find your "but still the proplems persit" comment pretty funny, and nice spelling BTW. I haven't heard about any 65nm 360 failures. I'm sure they would be top news if there were any.

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, www.xrl.us/ccrate you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.

Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,

I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "KNGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,

but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)

You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH

JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.

Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.

Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"

There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

Its true that PS3 doesn't need the small chips but saving some bucks is a good idea though.



I haven't heard any news on 360 having problems. But if thats true than that sucks. Im still thinking of getting a 360, maybe in a few months time.

it basically the 20 gb ps3 but without the backwards capability. but it has wi-fi i think and 20 extra gb. This is basically a console for people who arent going to be playing old ps2 or some psONE games anymore.
