At the E3, we were treated to a series of stunning technical demos that showed some serious power under the Playstation 3's hood, with some of the presentations running on a prototype machine for developers.It now appears the final model of the console may be up to 25% more powerful than the developer machines. Recently, the first images and specs of the current PS3 development kit hardware leaked onto the web, revealing the processor onboard the hardware was only running at 2.4GHz:
ITmedia revealed that the Cell chip used in Sony's PS3 developer's kit is running at only 2.4GHz, just 75 percent of the machine's final spec of 3.2GHz. The report also reconfirms that the graphics processor unit used in the E3 machine was not the RSX chip that will be used in the final product but is another Nvidia GPU, possibly the just-announced GeForce 7800 GTX.
