Today IBM announced the start of 65nm production of the Cell Broadband Engine chip at its East Fishkill production facility in New York. Cell is used in IBM's Blade Center servers as well as Sony's Playstation 3. The move should significantly decrease manufactoring costs of Sony's new console, which recently also had its Emotion Engine PS2 legacy hardware removed from the European launch units for the same purpose. It is still unknown when the 65nm Cell will actually be deployed in the PS3.
