IBM is the original architect with Sony and Toshiba of the Cell processor, which has been used by both Sony and Microsoft to power their gaming processors for nearly 10 years.
sources claim that the new multi core PowerPC processor, which Big Blue, has spent several years developing is now part of a joint development project with IBM.
Recently Sony has tried to buy back the Toshiba Cell factory in Nagasaki for $600 million. Sony Hope that this will be used to manufacture the processor for both Sony Toshiba and IBM devices.
Being twice as fast as the current processors, The new 32nm Cell processor is tipped to be capable of up to 16 SPEs. At least, that's what the IBM leaks say.
Sony is gearing up to manufacture the Cell processor in bulk claim local Japanese sources, saying that the smart little processors may be used in Sony notebooks and as said before, upcoming televisions.

"We will always need a means by which people can access content other than via an IP network, because in many Countries there is no fast broadband infrastructure. This is where Blu ray will have a life after markets like Europe and the US has moved onto fibre networks".

It should do anyway bro :y:. When it first comes out people will get it, yes granted, but i have a feeling it will be ridiculously over priced :n:.
I'd say the Ps3's got a good 2/3 years left in it.

Holy ****! I highly doubt this is real though as sony said that they aren't going to think about the PS4 for a couple of years, as the PS3 has a 10 year life cycle.
