Toshiba puts the Cell processor in a TV

Back


What happens when you take the powerful Cell microprocessor, the chip that sits at the heart of the PlayStation 3 games console, and put it to use inside a television? Toshiba demonstrated just such a TV at this week's International Consumer Electronics Show and the results are impressive.

unfortunetaly!!!!! most dvd/blue ray players,and tv sets does,nt have a real upscaler but instead it simply resize the image, aswell this is not a problem if the pal/ntsc signal contains a coded signal for hich-res lcd/plasma screen,however if,s the pal/ntsc is not coded for hich-res tv,s , simply resizing couses a blocky picture,thus non coded signals requires a true upscaler!!!!

PS3 and xbox 360 have the same amount of total RAM. PS3 has 256 MB for the graphics RAM and 256 MB for the system RAM. 256 MB + 256 Mb = 512 MB. PS3's RAM is faster than Xbox 360's RAM. Xbox 360 has 512 MB of RAM that is shared by the GPU and the CPU.

the only sad thing about ps3 is the memory, 256mb of ram is very,very sad. It should be minimum of 512mb.
