As part of our rumor round-up here at ps4forums.org, we thought we’d cover some speculation as to the hardware specifics of the Playstation 4.

According Reuters Sony, IBM and Toshiba have all extended their parterships with Sony, pledging to invest even more funds into next-generation chip designs. The next generation chipsets will dramatically smaller and massively more powerful, the focus will be on development of technology below 32-nanometer die sizes – the Playstation 3 currently uses 65-nanometer die sizes to give you an idea of scale.

Whether this Cell technology is intended for the Playstation 4 or an updated Playstation 3 model is not yet known, although it would make a lot of sense for Sony to lay a strong technological foundation for an upcoming console.
