See us moving like that: IBM manufactures 65nm Cell, too

IBM press announced that they’ve recently moved to 65 nanometer (65nm) technology in manufacturing Cell processors, joining Sony in the 65nm wagon and making it two-for-two for Cell manufacturing with the smaller tech. Basic speculation improved: the next production of PS3 units will feature the 65nm chips which, if it does help defray production costs for future runs, should help improve Sony’s bottom line.

And with the same logic, IBM’s bottom line certainly looks more attractive (what with its fingers in all the console gaming pies). And if the Cell finds ever-growing adoption in computers and home electronics – not to mention the military… excuse me, I need to call my stock broker.
