A Canadian company, Chipworks sides with Sony and Toshiba in the ongoing battle as to whether or not the PSX uses a 130nm process or a 90nm process, as Sony claims.
"'Chipworks obtained a sample of the Sony PSX chip and had started to take it apart based on the reports that it was a 90 nm part, but we have come to somewhat different conclusions than those reported last week.' stated Chipworks senior technology analyst Dick James. 'For one thing, we found transistors with a physical gate length of 45 – 50 nm, which immediately led us to believe that we did have a 90 nm part.'"
