The Cell Regza 55X1 uses a variant of the same Cell processor found in the PlayStation 3 and can handle tasks that were previously difficult or impossible in regular sets: it can record up to eight simultaneous digital over-the-air TV shows at once using a special DVR box and will even display those images sim... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/05/toshiba.cell.regza.and.4k.appear/ Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/14/euro.ps3.price.cut/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/ps3-7.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Online retailers in Portugal and Spain today may have spoiled Sony's plans for the gamescom expo next week by cutting the price of the PlayStation 3 by at least ä100 to about ä300. Both are present-day 80GB models, though the Portugese cut by FNAC also bundles the high profile game Infamous at the same time.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/14/euro.ps3.price.cut/ Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/01/foxconn.silent.on.slim.ps3/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/ps3slim-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Foxconn today tried to deflect rumors that it was building the slim PS3. Following a newspaper's claim yesterday that the new Sony console was to be shipped by Foxconn for next month, the assembly firm has filed an official stance with the Taiwan Stock Exchange that turns down commentary on the rumor, citing "customer confidentiality." Pegatron, which has been rumored to share responsibilities f... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/01/foxconn.silent.on.slim.ps3/ Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/18/toshiba.28nm.deal.extends/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/cellprocessor.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Toshiba and NEC together said today that they would extend their agreement with IBM to produce 28 nanometer chip technology. The deal sees the members of the larger alliance continuing to work on the smaller, more efficient technology with the intention of using it for home user products. They now also say they expected 28nm to be particularly useful for "mobile communication devices" such as sm... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/18/toshiba.28nm.deal.extends/ Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/18/china.c.and.d.on.slim.ps3/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/ps3slim-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Cease-and-desist requests sent today may have inadvertently supported rumors of a 120GB slim PlayStation 3 debuting at next month's E3 show. One of the notices delivered to Engadget asks the site to take down its copies of the images, claiming that they contain "confidential document [sic] and photos" that may break the law despite the photos now being widely available.

The Japanese firm says it has produced the first prototypes of TVs that use a Cell processor to handle its image processing. The performance of the chip, which is already shared with the PlayStation 3, is strong enough to handle very high resolution video processing but can also encode live HD and easily handle network ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/07/toshiba.cell.tv.and.regzas/ Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/30/sony.ps4.may.keep.cell/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/ps3-7.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony's eventual replacement for the PlayStation 3 may simply rely on a continuation of Cell technology rather than a whole new architecture, according to info obtained by Impress.

The process is 50 percent more complex than the 65 nanometer process used for most current Cell chips and will allow the PlayStation 3 to use both a much smaller and cooler-running processor but also to cost less. Versus the current manufacturing process, the two companies' new technique... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/22/45nm.cell.ps3.chip.in.2009/ Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/15/toshiba.ships.qosmios/ <img align='left' src='http://electronista.macnn.com/content/0706/toshibaqosmiof45.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />With announcements from HP, Lenovo, and Sony, Toshiba also took the opportunity to announce (and ship) new Centrino 2 versions of its recently announced notebooks for faster networking, better performance, and improved battery life.
