report on
nikkei.net.
The report said it has decided to can big investments developing future versions of its co-developed Cell microprocessor, and even outsource production of the 45 nanometre chip.
Nikkei reckons that it has allocated ¥500 billion for producing chips up until financial year 2009, but it's unclear what effect such a decision will have on its relationship with its partners in the Cell - Toshiba and IBM.
The report claims that Sony will switch its focus to making CMOS sensors for digicams and consumer devices. µ
