RAM Supplier, Date Speculation For PS3
Andrew writes "A press release has announced that Sony have officially licensed XDR DRAM, a joint effort between Elpida, Toshiba, and Rambus, for use in their future Cell broadband technology apps, which should include the next incarnation of the PlayStation series." An additional report at Gamesindustry.biz suggests that "..it's likely that the vast bulk of Elpida's [DRAM] output will be destined for PlayStation 3", and speculates on the PS3's release date based on the DRAM's 2004/5 production schedule: "We're not gambling types, but if we were, we'd put money on a mid-2005 [Playstation 3] launch in Japan, followed by US and European launches only a few months apart later that year - perhaps September 2005 in the USA, and November 2005 in Europe..."
Hmmm... 3000 times more powerful. didn't they claim the PS2 was supposed to be approx. a thousand times more powerful than the PS1? If they crowned the PS2 with the "Emotion Engine" does that mean the PS3 will get the "Hyperbole Engine"?
Yep.. and a bunch of PS3's going online will become cells of the most advanced system 'Skynet' that will start the Rise of the Machines. Don't buy PS3s on the fall of 2005... it is the inevitable Judgement Day. Again.. people... stop listening to speculation and wait for the specs. ====== The last metroid is in captivity... Yeah Right!
