Playstation 3 graphics processor unique
The Playstation3 graphics processor is the result of a two year collaboration between nVidia and Sony. Following on from Sony Computer Entertainment and NVidia announcement, further details regarding the graphics processor set to feature in the forthcoming Playstation3 have today come to light.
Speaking at a San Jose Press Conference, Jen-Hsun Huang President nVidia, claimed that the processor set to feature has been specifically created for the Playstation3 and is not based on a PC chipset. Huang claimed that both Sony and nVidia have been working closely for the last two years on the design of the chip, backing up earlier speculation that both companies were in collaboration.
Naturally Huang believes the Playstation3 to be far more powerful then anything currently on the market, with some vague suggestions hinting at a 50 fold increase in performance compared to the Playstation2.
