PlayStation 3 The PS3 Super Slim is the third major redesign amongst many generations of minor hardware updates to the PlayStation 3 console. You may even call it the seven year old itch of sorts, but then, you'd be wrong because that would involve replacing the older model with a younger, sexier one. Unfortunately, the new PS3 is anything but that. The Super Slim PS3 looks unflattering when compared to the outgoing model, despite being 25 percent smaller and 20 percent lighter than it. To be honest, it looks less like a video game console and more like an outdoor grill. The PS3 Slim was a major size and weight reduction from the monstrous original, but any further miniaturisation follows the law of diminishing returns. I don't see any reason why one would choose the Super Slim over the Slim for portability alone, especially since a console isn't exactly meant to be lugged around like a laptop. What would make the Super Slim worth an upgrade, however, is if it were to incorporate a die shrink just like its predecessor. When the Cell processor was shrunk down from 90nm to 45nm and the RSX GPU from 65nm to 40nm, it resulted in a significant reduction in the size and weight of the console, in addition to a tremendous decrease in power consumption as well. Die shrinks not only allow the consoles to run cooler and more reliably, but most importantly, they cost considerably less to manufacture. These savings were passed on to the consumers with the Slim.
