the most in-depth article yet on Xenos, the ATI-designed graphics processor for Xbox 360
http://www.beyond3d.com/articles/xenos/
combined that with the recent in-depth articles on the Xenon processor aka Waternoose: the triple-core IBM CPU for Xbox 360, and I think we will now have a...

note that the Cell processor going into PlayStation3 is "only" about 35
times more powerful (in floating point) than the Emotion Engine CPU in
PlayStation2.
even *if* Sony and IBM were to unleash the 8th SPE (only 7 SPEs are...

no doubt ATI wants Microsoft to select them for any and all future platforms including Xbox 3 (not 360 but its eventual successor) handhelds (an Xboy ?) set-top boxes, etc.
It's good if Microsoft and ATI...
nope.
because this same thing was being done when PS2 was revealed 6 years ago -- the media and websites and magazines were talking about PS3, which to you, would have also seemed rediculous ;)
ahh here is one of the quotes from one of the articles that mentions what I said above

there wasnt any official word on the media format until Nintendo said regular sized DVD.

the 1000 times as powerful as PS2 projection was nearly 6 years ago, looooong before they had Cell and what they would ultimately put into PS2. 1000 times was what Sony said they were aiming for -- that part was not...
regardless, PS4 is now in R&D and it will be interesting to hear, over months and years, about what technologies are going into it, just as many of us followed the development of PS3 from 1999 until the present.
actually there were official Sony statements about PS3 about 5 to 6 months *before* Playstation2 came out in Japan
at least half a dozens articles on the web about PS3 in 1999, and print articles too. Next-Gen had a big one
