The Cell reaches 6 GHz

The first Cell processors such as one finds in the PS3 were fabricated using 90 nm technology. IBM, Sony and Toshiba have started to fabricate Cell processors in 65 nm and have already started work with 45 nm. They have already succeeded in the laboratory of running chips at 6 GHz and are not far from marketing them in Blade servers.
The PS3 will also benefit with 45 nm technology. Its chip, running at 3,2 GHz will consume 38% less energy and consequently have much less heat to dissipate.
