Cutting Edge with Playstation 3 Spec

Featuring amazing graphics, audio, and capabilities, Sony's new PS3 has only the very latest and cutting edge electronics inside. Many people might be surprised at how powerful a little video game console can be. Playstation 3 spec gives a brief description of what various parts of the bleeding edge PS3 are and what they are capable of achieving.

Next-Gen Processors and More

Playstation 3 spec is full of amazing technologies. Sony's fabled processor entitled Cell has finally come to fruition. This processor is an eight core beast, but one core is disabled to improve its yields. The more cores that are added to a processor makes it likelier for the processor to be manufactured with a faulty part, and having a disabled core helps improve the number of perfect Core processors. Developed by Sony with IBM and Toshiba, the cell processor has seven screaming 3.2 GHz synergistic processing elements and the main processing core, called the power processing element. Six of the SPEs are available for a myriad of tasks, while the seventh focuses on running the Playstation 3 operating system. This processor can churn out an excess of 200 GFlops, a very high number for a central processor, making it quite possibly the fastest central processor in existence at this moment.

The graphics processor, the RSX “Reality Synthesizer,” was developed by NVidia, one of the two main dedicated graphics card companies. Modeled off of their very successful G70 graphics core (known by computer enthusiasts to be the powerful GeForce 7800 line of graphics cards), the RSX is capable of churning out some serious graphics. With 256 mb of dedicated 550 MHz GDDR3 memory, this graphics processor is capable of photo realistic graphics, making the Playstation 3 spec the most intensive out of any of the three main next-gen consoles today.

But as a home entertainment center, the Playstation 3 spec really shines. With HDMI connectivity, gamers can pop in a DVD or Blu-ray disc and watch movies at full 1080p resolution. Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections ensure a stable and blazing fast connection to the Internet, and USB and Bluetooth allow users to hook up multiple devices to the console. If that's not enough, the operating system allows users to experience full surround sound audio with Dolby Digital and DTS. A myriad of memory card slots are available to upload photos, and users can browse the Internet with up to six open windows at any given moment.

The Playstation 3 spec is simply the best out there right now. For the fastest and most amazing video game console, the PS3 is the first choice among gamers. The other consoles don't even come close to the raw power that Sony has bundled with each PS3 console.
