Difference between 60GB and 80GB(4usb ports) PS3 processor?

I bought a used 4 usb 80 GB Motorstorm bundle PS3 off of amazon for $265 and I was wondering if there is a difference between this model and the 60 GB PS3 in terms of the die size of the cpu. Are they both 90 nm? I was under the impression that the 80 GB was a 65nm...

The components thing I'm not disputing. The cpu die size has changed however. First ps3s (20 GB and 60 Gb) used a Cell processor on a 90nm die that gives off ALOT of heat which some people suspect is responsible for the YLOD. The slim is using a 45nm Cell cpu so it runs alot cooler. In between that is 65 nm but I don't know if the 4usb 80GB PS3 is using 65 or 90...

Ok thanks for the info! I thought I was getting a better deal in going with a used 80GB vs a 60 GB in terms of heat given off. I guess YLOD can strike me just as easily.

They all have 8 spes but one is disabled by default. I think that was for getting the most out of the wafers in that a cell with a defective spe could still be used for a ps3.

I wouldn't be so worried about getting a YLOD. The Xbox 360 had a high failure rate, but the PS3's has been pretty low.
