Gigaflops: LOL @ PC

The nVidia-powered graphics are twice as powerful as a GeForce 6800 Ultra.

PlayStation 3's hardware has gotten a little more detailed. The main CELL processor included will run at 3.2GHz, and feature 7 SPEs. The nVidia GPU will run at 700MHz, and there will be a 256MB XDR RAM stick included with the PS3, running at 3.2GHz. PS3 will have robust multimedia support, including: video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, digital audio and video playback.

It's just been confirmed that the PS3 will have a detachable hard drive, six USB ports, a memory stick slot, and seven bluetooth wireless controllers.

Kaz Hirai has taken the stage, beginning his speech with "190 million PS2s sold. 2 billion software sales" Hirai then began speaking about PlayStation 3... It features the CELL processor as previously reported, and also features a Blu-Ray Disk drive, running at 6x. Backwards compatibility with both PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games has also just been confirmed. Hirai also stated that PlayStation 3 runs at twice the speed of Xbox 360. The PlayStation 3 console is capable of reaching 10 Terraflops of processing information.

Hideo Kojima has been spotted at the event- Is this a sign of things to come?

The conference has just started.

With Microsoft's Xbox 360 console already unveiled to the public, it's time for Sony to counterattack with their upcoming PlayStation 3.

Sony's pre-E3 press conference is set to begin at 3:00 PM PST on Monday, May 16th. Check back to this page here at that time to see live updates straight from the conference and read about Sony's plans here first.

LOS ANGELES--Today saw the second of the big three console makers announce their next-generation platform. At its pre-E3 press conference, Sony Computer Entertainment gave the world its first look at the PlayStation 3, as it now is officially called.

The name was not unexpected, since Sony had been running an extensive teaser-ad campaign prepping the public for the PlayStation 3. The company had laid a blanket of posters around the Los Angeles Convention Center, site of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (aka E3). Bus stalls and billboards around the convention center proclaimed "Prepare for Chang3" in the distinctive PlayStation font with partial shots of the Dual Shock controller's square-circle-triangle-X buttons.

Sony also confirmed the PlayStation 3, will use Blu-Ray discs as its media format. The discs can hold up to six times as much data as current-generation DVDs. It will also support CR-ROM, CDR+W, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. It also confirmed the machine would be backward-compatible all the way to the original PlayStation. It will also have slots for Memory Stick Duo, a SD slot, and a compact flash memory slot. It will also sport a slot for detachable 2.5 inch HDD somewhat similar the Xbox 360's.

Out of the box, the PS3 will have the capability to support seven Bluetooth controllers. It will also have six USB slots for peripherals--four up front and two in the back.

Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2 Ghz and feature 2.18 teraflops of performance. It will sport 256mb XDR main RAM at 3.2 Ghz, and have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700mhz.

Sony also unveiled the PS3's graphics chip, the RSX "Reality Synthesizer based on Nvidia technology. The GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision, 1080p resolution, some of the highest HD resolution around. It also has over 300 million transistors lager than any processor available commercially today. It was manufactured using the 90nm process with 8 layers of metal. The RSX is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 ultras, which would cost rough $1000 if bought today.

The PlayStation 3 will also sport some hefty multimedia features, such as video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, digital audio and video. Sony Computer Entertainment head Ken Kutaragi introduced it as a "Super computer for computer entertainment."

DAMM that looks sweet.

You know what i'd like to see now.Before E3 a few people here didn't belive what i said about the PS3 hardware and games.Now after having seen it al in action,i want to know what they are saying right now.
You guys still having doubts?

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 18 May 2005, 16:46

I have heard about a "GT5" for PS3...

It will be called Vision Gran Turismo or something like that.

(same as GT4 with some tixes...)

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 18 May 2005, 19:30

That's GT still running on the same engine from GT4 but with a lot more cars.. Just to show the power of the PS3.

Dude, I just may buy a PS3.
There's no doubt PS3 will kill X360. You could put 20 X360 together and 1 PS3 would still be able to destroy all of them.

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 18 May 2005, 21:56

now i know what im gonna get... if it stays @ 200-299 bucks

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 18 May 2005, 22:19

It's less than 500 for sure.

Here's the link that compares the systems head-to-head.

While the PS3 is lacking in some areas, it still owns Xbox 360 IMO. I mean, you can plug in 7 players??? Makes for a great party and 2 HDTV outputs. Just imagine, playing with six of your friends on 2 large 42" LCD displays.

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 18 May 2005, 22:44

NVidia and ATI are already busy with their newest core, meaning that they will reach up to the consoles again.:'D

Which again makes we wonder why I buy a console..

Must be for the easier gameplay and more exclusive games..

One minute the PC market is high up in the games inudstry, the next minute its conolses, up and down, up and down, while we open up our wallets and feed the fat executive cats..... ahhh life is sooo wonderful

well i'm gonna wait a while until all three consoles come out and make my decisison when the prices go down a bit.

Man , how can i afford one.*gets job*

korge · Post by **korge** » 19 May 2005, 04:11

I herd from E3 that the PS3 will be runnin a Dual slot 6800 Ultra gt.... Well that points out 2 obvious things...

Extreme price

And that it will most likely become outdated...

Do you really think the one yr old card will be any match to any new Hardware or software that the pc will offer in the near future?
Think about it, Yea the Xbox has proven some worthy gfx, but why?
Only because PC did it first...
Yea the Xbox and PS3 will get all the glory for the shader technology,
but in the long run, the nice looking gfx will be on the Console around the same time It will be on the PC...
Shame to see the Unreal 3 engine go to a console..
It was originally for PC,
but Why would Epic let it go to waste and just sit around wen they could make some money with a nice Juicy Contract....
Well, ppl gotta make money some how...

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 19 May 2005, 04:28

yeah and also think obout how powerful if the PC would be if it had the Cell and RSX. and Either Playstation or XBox is gonna be deep in my pockets,scopeing the cobwebs, collecting money

Cpt.Razkit · Post by **Cpt.Razkit** » 19 May 2005, 04:33

I already have enough money for the Xbox 360 but i think i want to upgrade my pc, its been close to a year from when i purchased it... so hmmmm ATI X850 Platinum + 2 more gb memory or Xbox-36???? hmmmmm hard choice

my dad is going to automatically but the new PS3 because he likes it over Xbox which i thnk is dumb but oh well

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 19 May 2005, 04:36

i want the 360 but i also want the PS3 but thier both a lot of damn money

korge · Post by **korge** » 19 May 2005, 04:44

first im getting twin gig sticks of memory because with only 512 right now, there is no way ill be able to handle the Huge terrain scenes in Battlefield 2.. Second will be my CPU so i can handle the 100 player Servers.. third will of course be gfx card.... only becuase i want to see those ultra hi textures of course... you silly goose!
