There are also some pics there, so head there to see them...

Any comments on this one guys?

You really don't need to say much beyond that

Those are simply the specs of the GS-32 or whatever it's called.

I hope they dont forget the FSAA and texture kompression this time. 8)

 

[Magnum PI]

this is a joke isn't it ?

That is: Pissing Myself Laughing for the uneducated

 

[mech]

Bwhahaha. Lame.

No one will know the final specs till the end of next year at the earliest.... I imagine it'd be a moving target.

2004 is when we'll find out about it I'd hazard. Speculation before then is ridiculous. 2Ghz? Do these people think it's coming out tomorrow?

 

[Geeforcer]

I've seen many "possible spec lists" for PSX3, and this one is, by far, the most laughable of all.

287.5 Million transistors per second

I feel dumber having read that. I feel I'm not the only one.

Collective IQ of board dropping....

Actual Display Capability:

Somehow I find this funnier than anything else...

 

[PC-Engine]

At least it's not using a PPP rating - Polygon Pushing Power

 

[megadrive0088]

when i saw this thread, i KNEW it was going to be the fake PS3 info that's going around.

 

[megadrive0088]

PS3 specs that would sound more like the real thing:

Emotion Engine 3
1000 cell processors on die
3 Ghz
64 MB on-die eDRAM
6 TFLOPs
over 500 million transistors

Graphics Synthesizer 3
1.5 GHz
256 pixel engines
64 MB on-die VRAM
T&L co-processor
2 TB/sec bandwidth
384,000 Mpixels/sec
75 Billion polygons/sec

I´m not a tech freak, and even I find those specs funny. "Transistors: 287.5 million transistors per second " LOL

Even better, a 2GHz AMD processor?

why do you guys believe it would be faster than 2ghz (I'm not saying any of this is real) But a 3ghz chip would imo be to expensive. MS used a 700 mhz celeron .

Yes, I'll go with the next generation EE, if based on Cell (duh!) running at 1GHz or there about.

CPU Clock Frequency: 2Ghz AMD Processor

So it will comply to AMD's Mhz ratings not the standard one

Pixels: 1.2 & 2.6 gigapixels per second

and obviously with all the enhancements and increased embedded memory it will match the pixel fillrate of PS2...quite an achievement

PS2's faster than that!

Considering PS2 was 10 times the clock speed of PSone, of course we're going to see 3Ghz and beyond in the next generation.
