Details on Cell 65nm out next week at ISCCC 2007.

Abstract confirms 6GHz and lower power. Low voltage and tight voltage control may be another indication of LR2 inside. We'll know if LR2 is in or not before TMTA's cc on February 27.

The 65nm CELL Broadband EngineTM design features a dual power supply, which enhances SRAM stability and performance using an elevated array-specific power supply, while reducing the logic power consumption. Hardware measurements demonstrate low-voltage operation and reduced scatter of theminimum operating voltage. The chip operates at 6GHz at 1.3V and is fabricated in a 65nm CMOS SOI
technology.
