Sony Preprara Nuevo Chip Mas PequeÑo Y De Menos Consumo

Sony is apparently working on a 45 nm Cell broadband engine that promises to reduce power consumption by 40%. Sony also say the 45 nm Cell chip area size will be 34% smaller than the 65 nm. Information provided through the ISSCC 2008 program are brief, but the document - which was posted earlier this month on the ISSCC website – offers some insight what we can expect to learn this year. Sony is apparently working on a 65 nm to 45 nm migration of its Cell Broadband Engine. Sony claims that the chip area size will be reduced by 34% and the 45 nm Cell will consume 40% less power than the 65 nm generation. The company also works on improving the design for manufacturability (DFM) for Cell to simplify the CPU production process.

En resumidas cuentas parece que a corto/medio plazo tendremos un nuevo Cell de 45 nm (el actual es de 65 y el antiguo de las primeras PS3 de 90). Esto es una muy buena noticia para los cunsumidores, pues se calentara menos y asi aumentará su fiabilidad, y el consumo de energia sera mucho menor: 40% menos de energia segun Sony
