SOURCES SAID that the Sony Playstation3 is to be realesed September 26th 2007.
A reliable source close to Sony's plans explained the way the Playstation3 works to the INQUIRER.

He said that the computers are made of cells, each one containing a CPU, which will probably be a PowerPC, and eight APUs (vectorial processors) each with 128K of memory.

It will run at 4GHz, producing a not inconsiderable 256Gflops, with the cells connected to the central 64MB memory through a switched 1024 bit bus.

It's still not clear how many of these "cells" will be used in the Playstation3, but Sony reckoned some time ago it could be as many as one teraflop, probably making it a four cell architecture.

Optical links – perhaps even FireWire optical links – could be used to share computing power.

The Playstation3 architecture is similar to the Playstation 2 but with some improvements, such as a larger number of VPUs, each with more memory. The operating system, too, is much improved.

But Playstations will still be very complex to program well, although it's just as well that Sony doesn't want to take the Microsoft DirectX route.

This is a diagram of the system which is filed in the US Patents and Trademarks Office, and snapped from there, with acknowledgements:

Ok, first off, the PS3 isn't "delayed" there isn't even an announcement about what the console will be like, or when it's supposed to come out, 2006 seems a very realistic launch date in japan, late 2006 seems like a very realistic date for the US, so a 2007 speculation isn't too far off (but it's NOTHING MORE THAN SPECULATION!). the truth is, nobody knows anything about it other than it will feature the "cell" chips. product unvealing is planned for E3 2005, but even then you won't have an official release date... don't you worry about the PS3 comming late... the machine is going to be so powerful, that games that take full advantage of the hardware should take even more time to develop. so a 2007-2008 release date for the next gran turismo is wishfull thinking... so, who cares when it comes out? the good games won't be out untill at least 2 years after launch.

its amazing how far gaming has come in the last 10 years. technology in general is evolving infinitely faster than humans..

back on topic, i can't say i'm surprised the ps3 will be so much better than ps2.. it'll also be interesting to see what microsoft comes up with for xbox2.
