Default [PS3Fan]PS3 65nm Change?
Quote:
Looks like the 80GB Core PS3 may be more energy efficient than ever. A user at the Slickdeals forum connected his brand new 80GB Core system to a Kill-a-watt and discovered a slight energy savings. For example, the 40GB model used 155.2 watts when playing MGS4 -- the 80GB model used only 130 watts. The 40GB used 125.8 watts when idle on the XMB, while the 80GB used 111.9 watts. The popular theory is that Sony has secretly switched to new 65nm RSX chips: these are cheaper to manufacture, and are considered more reliable. Sony has not yet responded to these claims, but we wouldn't be surprised if each new SKU introduces new savings for the costly PS3 manufacturing process.

Why not tear it open and find out? They can replace the thermal compound while they are at it.

The power saving could also be due to cutting other hardware out (the 40GB has most of the PS2 hardware in there, right?).

The 40GB has no PS2 hardware....that's the original 20GB and 60GB models.

I used to be so concerned about backward compatibility, but when I get a PS3 I won't be throwing my PS2 out and I'll hardly ever use it. Backward compatibility was one of the reasons I was sticking with Sony. Then I bought my sister a 360 and realized how ridiculous it was. I'm still getting a PS3 because I want a Blu-ray player, not for backward compatibility. Hopefully prices will drop in the next couple months before I splurge on one.

Why don't you just go on ebay and buy a 60GB PS3 OR the 80GB MGS4 combo, it also have backward compatibility.
