Cell 2.0

According to IBM the next-gen. Cell procesor is slated for 2010 to be 45nm and will have 2 PPEs and 32 SPEs. So thats roughly about 3-4 times what the PS3 has now. No info on clock speed or anything it is far too early. I expect it to be in 3.6-6.0 Ghz range. Since IBM is releasing the new Power6 server processors ranging from 4.0-5.0 Ghz in Mid-2007. The New Cell will very likely be in the next Playstation. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,127433-c,cpus/article.html
IBM plans to crank up the speed on its Power6 server chip to 5.0GHz, far higher than competing processors from Intel and Sun Microsystems.
Despite its high frequency, the chip will avoid overheating through its small, 65-nanometer process geometry, high-bandwidth buses running as fast as 75GB per second, and voltage thresholds as low as 0.8 volts, IBM said.
When it ships the chip in mid-2007, IBM will target users running powerful servers with two to 64 processors, said Brad McCredie, IBM's chief engineer for Power6.
The company will ship several versions of the Power6 chip, ranging from 4.0GHz to 5.0GHz in frequency.
