    IBM thought Ken Kutaragi was OUT OF HIS MIND wanting PS3~Cell to be a 1,000 fold leap beyond PS2's Emotion Engine

    http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23852 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...

    ATI seeks to expand Microsoft partnership

    http://www.reuters.ca/locales/c_newsArt...ssNews&localeKey=en_CA&storyID=8660833 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...

    Nvidia likely to be on board for Playstation 4 graphics

    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 ;)

    Nvidia likely to be on board for Playstation 4 graphics

    the other thing was, Sony sat down with developers after they (the developers) had a chance to work on Playstation1 in 1995. Sony asked the developers what they wanted in a next-generation Playstation. the developers came back to Sony, with the requirement of (a staggaring) 18,000 times...

    Nintendo Revolution falsely reported to be 2-to-3 times more powerful than Gamecube. the report was wrong

    there wasnt any official word on the media format until Nintendo said regular sized DVD. the Xbox is only 2-3 times more poweful than Gamecube on paper. in practice, the two are very close. with each having some advantages over the other, as well as having some weaknesses compared to...

    Nintendo Revolution falsely reported to be 2-to-3 times more powerful than Gamecube. the report was wrong

    The report that Nintendo Revolution is only going to be two-to-three times more powerful than Gamecube is totally false. http://cube.ign.com/articles/522/522559p2.html it made no sense whatsoever that Nintendo Revolution would only be 2 or 3 times more powerful than Gamecube, that...

    Nvidia likely to be on board for Playstation 4 graphics

    yes I know that PS3 is only 35 times as powerful as PS2. that is now. 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...

    Nvidia likely to be on board for Playstation 4 graphics

    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.

    Nvidia likely to be on board for Playstation 4 graphics

    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 Next-Gen - 12/99 http://img111.exs.cx/img111/5751/ps319sa.jpg...

    Xbox360 graphics processor update: it has 332 million transistors! [up from 150 million previously reported]

    ok, as promised, here is one of the quotes from one of the articles about each of the 48 shader pipes having 4 ALUs http://www.techreport.com/etc/2005q2/xbox360-gpu/index.x?pg=1

    Xbox360 graphics processor update: it has 332 million transistors! [up from 150 million previously reported]

    to make things even more confusing, the latest information says that there are 4 ALUs in each of the 48 unified shader pipes. before, it was 48 ALU pipes or 48 ALUs. I will get a link to the newer information that suggests 4 ALUs per 48 pipes, later today.
