Confirmed: The new 80 gig PS3s have 65nm RSX chips

There were internet rumours weeks ago which suggested that the new ps3 models might be having the 65nm RSX chips. Well edepot now confirms that the newer models are indeed carrying the shrunk RSX chips

Now SONY is making profit off every ps3 sold

ruibing5700d ago

I hope so but it's hard to say since there are many cost (e.e.g marketing, tech support, warranty) embedded with the sale of each PS3. At the very least, this will help improve the life and cost incurred by the PS3. The PS3 is all about the software this year, so I think the main profit will come from its big exclusive titles.

TheXgamerLive5700d ago (Edited 5700d ago )

in fact there's a chance per sony that that won't happen for a few more years.

they've lost some 1 billion plus dollars on the ps3 and design cost of the cell so no, there not profiting yet, lol.

Kyur4ThePain5700d ago

Maybe I don't understand...how does a table on some website confirm this?

Jamie Foxx5700d ago (Edited 5700d ago )

with backwards compatibilty and card readers for any other model

LinuxGuru5700d ago

Well that brings us one step closer to a slim PS3!

lol

Jamie Foxx5700d ago (Edited 5700d ago )

aslong as the slim keeps the vacuum cd drive its all good,people forget about that feature but it reaks of quality,lets you know your piece of kit is quality and was built NOT to look out of place next to your hd tv

bubbles linux totally forgot about the slim

LinuxGuru5700d ago

Yeah, A slot drive is easier to put in a smaller device.

That's what apple uses in their Mac Mini, and even what the Wii uses.

So a slim PS3 should hopefully retain the slot-loading mechanism.

barom5700d ago

w00t! this means production costs has gone down and we might be able to expect another price cut.

RememberThe3575700d ago

Price cut? PS3? HAHAHAHahaaahhaaa Thats classic!

RememberThe3575700d ago

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no

zo6_lover275700d ago

65nm chips are cheaper to produce than 90nm chips, and they were breaking even when they had the 90nm, so they are more than likely making a profit now.

TheColbertinator5700d ago

If this is true,we might see a price cut in the future

mfwahwah5700d ago

Sony needs to make a profit, so I'm not expecting one any time soon.

lsujester5700d ago

Not as long as they are still selling. When they start consistently losing to MS again, then we'll see the price cut.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg7h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv726h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast8h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood8h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK5h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

gold_drake3h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.
