They spent 5 years developing a scheiss processor that is about twice as fast as the rest? It will be matched 6 months after launch by the rest of the pack..Why the f... did they spend billions on 65nm technology in the last 3 years if not for PS3? They could have at least doubled the number of coprocessors on the cell from the IBM prototype which was in 90nm, and upped the Ghz as well. Why else waste the money on being first with 65nm? I don't know of any other biggies coming out from sony in 2006. AAARRRGH. What about the research into massively parallel processing and early tests on that? Wasn't the only way to justify Cell its ability to connect to multiple processors? Why then only one Cell in the PS3? What happened to 'the PS3 will have to be 1000 times faster' than PS2 statement from ideo/kutaragi? 35 times? you must be f...ing kidding. 2 teraflops, mostly coming from the nvidia GPU, which 'is as fast as two of their fastest' current cards? This looks more like a PC architecture than the 'innovative' sony thing; anybody can do fast GPUs, why do we even care about the Cell CPU then? Ken, I hate you. This better be a grand magic trick to fool microsoft into starting production on their crap box (not that ps3 sounds any better) Ok my view is that somebody must have peed on Kutaragi’s brain.
