I found something strange (Sony related)

[Urian]

Navigating around the US Patents website and searching for the patent related to the System G which influenced Sony Playstation 3D Graphics engine I found something that Akio Ohba (creator of the System G and one of the most important engineers in SCEI) published back in 2003 that you can find here:

I am impressed because I don´t know how to connect this patent to PSP and PS3, it seems a type of processor completely different than the ones included in PSP and PS3.

Do you know anything about this strange patent?

From my point of view it seems to be a type of primitive Cell Broadband Engine concept, I see some influences in the design from Stanford Imagine Processor but I believe that I am wrong.

What do you think?

Interesting article, not sure why it isn't getting many comments. I didn't make the broadband connection... can you elaborate?

Well it sure sounds like a CPU with parallel processing

Cell BE project target to make a Super Computer on one chip. Parallel processing design is only small parts of its. I think these can be some DSPs design for electronic part not the Cell.
