CPU:
3 x IBM Power PC 3.2 ghz

is this 3 each at 3.2
or 3 combined at 3.2? (this seems more likely)

That's what 3X means and is probably the only way they could not limit the GPU and also give it the multi-tasking functions they want.

Anyway, what is 10mb embedded ram mean? Is is 10mb vram and 512 mb shared system ram, or is it 512mb of vram and some 10mb of some funky high-speed gpu cache?

That.

Although, as all consoles have done to date, the 512mb will probably be shared with the system. That's really not as big a deal as it is in the PC world, though, that's how all consoles do it.

Still, the 10mb embedded ram. WOW. Bitboys (vaporware masters) frequently reported that experiments with large amounts of ram on-chip would improve performance something like 10x or more.

This is going to be a huge, huge, HUGE performance boost in the 3d acceleration department.

Granted, it'll take games a year or two to really put that kind of power to USE...but it'll also take a year or two before PCs even come close to matching it, so....

Interesting days ahead, that's for sure!

That said, I'm still sticking with PCs. XBox360 may blow away any system I can build in fall of 2005...but by fall of 2006, I'll be laughing at the XBox owners again.

We all remember Penny Arcade's take on that, right?

Errr. The controller is actually slightly smaller than the S-controller.
