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.

"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".

i think its alittle soon for a ps4
Couldn't disagree more, we've already seen more or less the technical limits of this console generation and it's time for a leap forward. Just look at BF3 on the PC, wouldn't you love realism like that on your console? Well you can't, not with the 360 or PS3.

nope the ps3 isnt even close to its limits and as for realism i dont see how it could get better i have a 3D tv with HDMI 1080p and it looks just as good or better than computer graphics sony is just pushing forward cause the ps3 has been hacked.
