Reply With Quoteit probably does have somethign to do with the production time, but i believe making the 550 mhz gpu was a simple process for nvidia as it was a simple board they made it on.
Also it could be sony trying to save some money and then pump out more consoles.

Sony PS3 GPU Gets Downgraded
The Sony PS3's GPU, previously running at 550MHz Core/700MHz memory, has been downgraded to 500MHz Core/650MHz memory. We don't mean to crap on Sony's cake all the time, but when their most powerful machine EVAR keeps losing its power, people start to notice.
In any case, if decreasing the specs will help get more units out by Christmas and avoid yet another Xbox 360-like shortage story, we're all for it.
