Playstation 3's Processor: 100x Faster than Pentium 4
Sony and Toshiba have sealed a deal with Rambus for a hot new memory chip which will ensure that the Playstation 3 will have blaring speed and unparalleled sound and graphics capability.
The two companies are also working on a complex new processor for the Playstation 3 called "Cell", which will be able to perform about 100 times faster than a 2.5 GHz Pentium 4 chip.
The Rambus memory that Playstation 3 will use must be able to deal with a processor this fast. "Yellowstone" can process data three times faster than currently available, over 100 gigabits per second.

is it just me, or are computer-companies releasing new consoles faster and faster?
Microsoft started working on the Xbox2 right after the first Xbox was released, and now nintendo are also working on the follow up-console for the GameCube already...
this sucks!
How much more can we possibly improve over the possibilities that exist today? Ofcourse the graphics will be better and more detailed... but i honestly believe on a level of gameplay... the limits of what can be achieved on a television-screen have been achieved.
I'd be much more interested in new software where the developers use the existing hardware to the maximum.

Sounds to me like the Playstation 3 could be the machine for the next 10 years forget about 5 (which is the standard shelf life of a console).

This is almost certainly bollocks, and besides look at all the hype that surrounded the PS2, with the 'emotion engine' and how powerful it was gonna be, and what did it turn out to be? A slightly improved PS1 with a DVD player. Fuck Sony, they suck.

At last! Atleast someone agrees with me on this one.
I just hope that nintendo's new cosole will still allow you to play GameCube-games (probably not though). I wouldn't mind... well... ehr... let's say i would mind less having to buy a new console all the time if i could atleast still keep my collection of games :-/
