Playstation 3 Gathering Components

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the gta-of-tomorrow dept.

briancnorton writes "Cnet has a story about how Sony has licensed some Rambus connection technology for the playstation 3. One technology is for chip-to-chip communications and the other for chip-to-RAM at over 100 Gbps. These are all parts of the 'Cell' processor system that is supposed to do over '1 trillion mathematical calculations per second.'"

    Am I the only one that remembers the non-stop ridiculous hype the Playstation 2 had for about two years until it was released? Then when it was finally released, it was extremely disappointing? How about we just skip the hype and wait for it to be more than a list of specs?

    You need that kind of power to drive a TV????

    This is a bit ridiculous, no a lot ridiculous..

    I suppose one day there will be a console which can actually run HDTV, but then will the average joe with the NTSC TV buy it?

    60 fields per second, not frames.

    It's equivalent to 30 frames per second, which is close enough to the parent poster's 24fps to not bitch about. Fucktard.
