Saw this article, take with a grain of salt? It sounds completely legit though. Regarding Sony selling its Cell factory to Toshiba.
"Sony dumped its outmoded Nagasaki fab plant on Toshiba, which now only can produce 65nm semiconductors and IBM will manufacture the new state-of-art 45nm Cell processor at its East Fishkill, New York facility for Sony’s latest game machines."
And a semi-related article that shows the New York facility was the one to introduce the 65nm first I believe, to replace the more expensive 90nm.
