DeanoC do you know when you get the final PS3 Harware?

[Carl B]

The arrival of final dev kits would seem to have implications about a console's launch timing. And this is not such a benign thing, is it?

Maybe, but I'm simply asking a question based on publicly available information. It's as worth the effort of my typing as anything else I could do in that thirty second span, even if it results in a non-response.

I see what you're going for... Let me retract my last post and say that, officially, I highly doubt any NDA could possibly be broken by giving out this information. This is my legal opinion, based on watching an episode LA Law several years ago.

(xb, I'm trying to help! )

Watching you two try is like watching a fisherman who doesn't use bait but just dangles a hook in the water in the hopes some extremely dim-witted fish will impale itself

Oh yeah? Well, let's try this: DeanoC, if you tell us when you'll get final devkits, I'll give you some candy.

Hmmm?

I don't believe DeanoC is working on anything for the PS3, unless of course I see a pic of him standing next to a PS3 dev kit.

How much are you willing to pay?

 

[Synergy34]

I'll pay you one thousand dollars of Sis's money.

 

[scooby_dooby]

How about this...Deano, if you will be getting the final dev kits before february....DON'T reply.

 

[Qroach]

Ya know, next time don't put his name in the thread title and he might actual give us a tidbit.

 

[Sis]

Whoa-whoa-whoa. I only offered candy; I happen to have opened up a bag of M&Ms and couldn't finish them all. I hope he likes the blue ones, 'cause that's all that's left.

lol

i laughed out loud on that, reminded of that one Simpsons Ep were Homer prays to God to leave everything the way it is and offers up a plate of cookies as thanks.

"If you want me to eat these cookies for you, leave me no sign"......"It will be done" lol

You think I'd get any candy with Dean and Marco in the same building. They can move faster than I can and any hint of sweets... whoosh is all I'd know

 

[scooby_dooby]

It's confirmed!!

No dev-kits by february! jk...

 

[MrWibble]

Answering the original question...

Yes, yes I do... well.. actually... maybe, actually there a small chance of nuclear armegeddon so I better say No, no I don't, just to be safe.

Hopefully that clears everything up and doesn't break any NDAs...

I think the NDA is basically that you can't talk about ANYTHING. That saves technicalities being argued on the event of a disclosure of information. As stated before, they can only talk a bit on information that has been given publically. If Sony haven't said it already, even if it's something benign like the colour of the box or the smell of the packaging, any dev talking such things will be tart-and-feathered, keel-hauled, hung, drawn and quartered, and given a good ticking off.

There are a lot of NDAs that go to the next level and don't even allow commenting on "publically" available or released info. Basically the correct response with these NDAs is effectively: "Huh".

Anyhow, enough gibberish about things that don't interest you all - can I join the mass and ask "Where's our RSX information, goddamnit?!"

Glad I'm not the only one thinking we are rapidly approaching "borderline ridiculous" on this issue. . .

You're counting on nuclear armegeddon "to be safe"?

Hahahahahaha... I thought i was the only one who said that!!!

IBM's BlueGene/L in it's full incarnation is slated to use 65,356 specialty ASICs in 64 cabinets. For shits 'n giggles, a comparable Cell based, commodity, solution yeilds:

[65,356] * [200] = 13,071,200 GFlop/sec, or 13,071TFlop/sec, or 13PFlop/sec.

There is no way a distributed CELL design will get within a sliver of that peak theoretical performance. Only extremely embarassingly parallel problems like those run on *@Home would work. BlueGene/L is already at 65536 processors and hits 360TFlops theoretical, which means each process yields ~5.5GFLOPs. Do you really think a CELL CPU is 30+ times faster than the PowerPC derivatives in BlueGene?
