New Cell processor previewed at chip show - runs twice as fast as PlayStation 3's

The chip operates at 6GHz at 1.3V and is fabricated in a 65nm CMOS SOI technology. The CELL Broadband Engine is, of course, better known simply at ‘The Cell processor’ and is used in the PlayStation 3 (as well as IBM’s Blade servers and some HD TVs).

The Cell currently powering the PS3 runs at 3.2GHz and is fabricated on 90-nano-metre (nm) Silicon On Insulator (SOI) tech.

We read on:
”The 65nm CELL Broadband Engine design features a dual power supply, which enhances SRAM stability and performance using an
elevated array-specific power supply, while reducing the logic power consumption. Hardware measurements demonstrate low-voltage operation and reduced scatter of the minimum operating voltage.”

Now a good move by Sony was:
1º Order a better GPU from nVidia (one like gf8800)
2º Put this new Cell together with that GPU
3º Replace all the sold PS3s for they new one that was gonna be far ahead of the X360 on DAY 1... hehehe.. hey dreaming IS free..
