Sony who announced a $3 Billion plus loss last week is pinning their future, on a brand new processor which some are speculating will lead to a new Playstation 4.


We have been told that IBM is working / developing Sony it's new very fast preprocessor for it's Upcoming PS4 and Bravia TV. 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.

"But this is a platform business, so for the future platform – when we'll be introducing what product, I cannot discuss – but our development work is already under way, so the costs are incurred there."


A senior Sony executive said at a recent CES show, the Company needed a new Playstation console.

"What we need is a fast processor that delivers content including gaming and 3D movies to a display screen. That processor could be built into a TV a media hub for connection to non-Sony display screen with content delivered over an IP network".

"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".

Well they can't really fix the yellow ring of death, as it was a ' ring of death '. They can only take measures to prevent it, or change the color to pink so people get confused :carling:
