Sony may ship PS3's with defective Cell processor |
Its quite possible that Sony's upcoming Next Gen console PS3 will ship with a deffective processor chip.
The chip has 8 synergistic processor elements for Multicore processing, however only 7 of them are ever used by the processor. Meaning if one of them is defective, Sony will still ship the chip as a full functioning processor. If the system has 6 or less working SPE's- sony will NOT ship the system.
Kutaragi also talked about the look of the PS3, commenting that he and Teiyu Goto, the console designer of the original PlayStation and the PS2, decided to give the PS3's body a curved surface after considering shapes that hadn't existed in either consoles or computers in the past. When asked if the curved surface made developing internal architecture difficult, Kutaragi said that internal architecture was already being considered when the body was designed, like where the BD-ROM reader's motor and connectors would be placed, as well as how heat would be released. Kutaragi also stated that he prepared three PS3 mock-ups for E3 in silver, white, and black. He settled on the silver one, after gathering a consensus from a variety of different developers and distributors.
