The end of the Cell?

Strange As reported by financial maneuvers AVMagazine, you would be adding another piece to the next design which sees the abandonment of CELL by Sony, at least according to rumors and quite logical deductions. After the handover of the facilities used to produce the powerful processor at the base of PlayStation 3 happened a few months ago from Sony to Toshiba, both companies WOULD BE hours dealing with the conversion of these factories to new technologies, from an $ 600 million about, according to unidentified sources.

According to reports, there would be at the foundation of the transformation of plants to concentrate on the production of CMOS sensors, which makes then think about a gradual abandonment of cells, which beyond some PlayStation 3 and Toshiba TV and Electronics Products did not appear yet to find its own defined space in the consumer electronics market.

In particular, it occurs to me that the next Sony console is not designed to accommodate a structure derived from the PowerPC processor for CELL, but at the moment these are just guesses.
