Cheapness has nothing to do with fab capacity, it has everything to do with die sizes: the smaller the better. Current estimates are that Larrabee will be *big*. > IBM is still on board the Cell train afterall so we can expect Cell to stay. You missed the other part of this thread that said otherwise.

Who's up for 25GB game downloads? :-) Well, Nintendo used to do fine with cartridges in the olden days. Perhaps they're going back to the modern equivalent of cartridges, flash memory thumb drives? Most modern SD flash cards are 8 to 16GB, meaning that they're already larger than or equal to DVD drives in capacity, and they are still growing. Blu-Ray disk don't seem like they offer enough of a cost advantage over flash drives.

Perhaps it's just the laziness of developers, but as far as I've seen, the vast majority of PS2 games looked awful right up to the end. -Miles -- x y Z! |
