Description
Reports are beginning to surface which claim that Sony's PS3, the heir to
the PS2 throne,
architecture is obvious in a U.S. patent filed by Sony on September 26th.
The patent refers to an architecture for computer processors and computer
networks and,
in particular, to an architecture for computer processors and computer
networks in a
broadband environment.
Although the following description may go into some technical detail, it
will offer a chance,
 to those with such a background to gain some insight as to the PS3's
petential.
According to the 
inquirer.net
, this is how the PS3 will work:
The PS3 will consist of cells, each one containing a CPU, probably a
PowerPC,
 and eight APU's (vectorial processors) each with 128K of memory.
It will run at 4GHz, producing a staggering 256Gflops,
with the cells connected to the central 64MB memory through a switched
1024bit bus.
It's still not known how many of these cells will be used in Playstation 3,
but Sony hinted, a while back, that it could total as much as one teraflops,
s
uggesting a four cell architecture.
Optical links, possibly FireWire optical links, could be used to share
computing power.
The Playstation 3 architecture will be, in many respects, similar to the
Playstation 2 but
with considerable improvements, such as a larger number of VPU's,
each with more memory.
 The operating system, too, is expected to be greatly improved.
Many fear that the complexity of the machine might make it extremely
difficult to
 program for but Sony will do their best to work with developers in order to
avoid such
 issues causing their console any problems.

cosa ti stupisce? le caratteristiche tecniche ridicole?

Infatti...
Per il 2005 quell'hardware sarà Merda!

Non credo che i brevetti siano di pubblico dominio. Per me e' una
bufala =)

I brevetti sono di pubblico dominio proprio in quanto tali, comunque
sono protetti da brevetto. Per esempio la Coca cola non brevetta la
segretissima formula della sua fortunata bevanda proprio per non
pubblicarne la mistura d'ingredienti...

Per brevettare una cosa devi dire come funziona.
E chiunque puo' richiedere di visionare la documentazione del brevetto.
Anzi, esistono software per la progettazione con l'elenco e le 
caratteristiche di tutti i brevetti depositati in modo da non studiare 5 
anni una cosa e poi accorgersi che e' gia' stata brevettata.
