X-box jo kuolut ja kuopattu

Joo teksti on englanniksi, mutta jotkut sitten
ymmärtää ja toiset eivät. Valitettavan huono
homma näin X-box:n suhteen, siis hankkikaa PS2.

Semiconductor Insights announced that Sony's
very own Graphics Synthesizer card has been
awarded the "INSIGHT Award for the Most
Innovative Computing Semiconductor Product of the
Year" (try saying that three times). Of course
the Graphics Synthesizer is a chip located at the
heart of the Playstation 2 that can produce 75
million polygons per second and can handle 20
times the simultaneous data of many PC graphic
accelerators.

"System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design has been a
buzzword in the semiconductor industry for the
past 5 years. Sony has developed a chip that
exemplifies the philosophy of SoC as it not only
integrates many functions on-chip but also
integrates different technologies," said Derek
Nuhn, Chief Operating Officer of Semiconductor
Insights. "The extreme performance of the
resulting chip is phenomenal."

"This is the first year Semiconductor Insights
has given out the INSIGHT Awards and we plan to
make it an annual tradition," Nuhn
said. "Semiconductor Insights performs
competitive technical intelligence on devices in
every technology area each year putting us in the
unique position of analyzing the true technical
merits of leading edge semiconductor products."

"PC technology has generally led the
advancement of process geometries in
semiconductors," a senior analyst
indicated. "Sony's Graphics Synthesizer has a
logic core with embedded DRAM. The embedded DRAM
uses sophisticated sense amplifiers that contain
an SRAM latch and two read data buses. This
combination of DRAM and SRAM is intended to
improve the speed of the video memory for better
drawing performance."

Apparently it seems that Sony was the fist
company to develop this System-on-a-Chip design
with its incredible GS. Now get this folks, the
Sony Graphics Synthesizer is so powerful, that
the competition it smoked was a Pentium 4 (not 3)
1.5 GHZ chip, an AMD Athlon 1GHZ chip and an
nVIDIA GeForce 2 graphics card that will be used
by the XBox! So is all of this talk about the
XBox being able to create better polygon
performance actually true? Well if analysts prove
one chip over another, then I'm sticking
with "hell no!" I congratulate Sony on their
wonderful achievement. No other company deserves
it more than them.
