It has been leaked that the core processor for the PS3 will run at 4.6Ghz which sounds like it should be fairly nippy. Of course pure clock speeds aren't the be all and end all of speeds (I'm sure Merg will explain clock speeds and instruction widths and all the billion and one other things that make up a chip's speed it if you ask him nicely) so we'll have to wait a bit longer to find out the gen - this article speculates we will have all the info in February.

The emotion engine worked in that 99.999% of the world's population (ie those stupid enough to believe such tosh) believed it. The amount of spout that was being written about it by games magazines alone was incredible. Useless fsckers. That's what we should be doing - talking shite about games and getting paid for it.
Re the synergy bit: How the fsck can separate cores produce a whole greater than the sum of it's parts? If you're doing multiprocessing there is implicit overhead ie You will never get 100% of the power of the processors never mind more!
Fscking marketeers. Castrate 'em I say.
Didn't PS2 have some vector processing shizzle that 97% of the coders working on it never managed to use effectively because it was a cnut to code on? Or am I thinking of something else entirely?
