lol, 4 cores on a device barely bigger then an Ipod. If anyone had a semblence of common sense they would realize thats completely ridiculous. Unless of course Sony got their hands on some future tech aka Terminator style.

I would love to know the battery life :Pracing1750

You need one of these to bring with you:

Still portable. Just......Not so portable.

And it will be like.. i don't know... 30nm??

ps3 doesnt have a 8 core processor neither will psp have a 4 core one. get your facts straightSamiRDuran

Remember that we are in a green "era" now, so this is what you are going to need

Those are the PSP 2 designers.

Wouldn't they break easily though? Oh wait. Since when has Sony ever cared about that?

You know that solar panels don't work at night, or give that much electricity in the day, don't you? If you really want a "green" solution, you need one of these:

Keep Cycling lady! You'll have enough power for the PSP 2 soon enough! (i.e. when GT5 comes out)

And a full 10 minutes of battery life? :?musicalmac

[QUOTE="musicalmac"]And a full 10 minutes of battery life? :?donalbane

It will only be worth it in the UK then. Seeing how much rain we have, we'll have solar power all the time!

:lol: good one

if it actually works out, then the 360 just got owned by a portable. :lol:

Do you think *gasp* that GT5 could be a PSP 2 game???charizard1605

To be honest, I have reservations that it will be a PS3 game first. PSP2 GT5? Yeah, that will stop when British Airways stop striking, and when DFS stop having sales (People from the UK will get what I mean here).

That would be cool right, i mean the PS3 has a 8 core cell processor, so it will have half the processing power of the PS3, for a handheld its not bad.

Thoughts??

Pelon208

First off, that's not how it works at all.

And considering this is just a rumor then I'm betting it's entirely false. As far as I know people seem to like when the battery life of their handheld devices lasts a day or two. If Sony beefs it up too much it'll be that much more unappealing for those people.

And a full 10 minutes of battery life? :?musicalmac

Nope. They will go for the full monty: $599.

it's not intel core quad processor...and they make it for handheld device, so dont worry about power consumption.

in fact, they already have dual processor on high end canon dslr , so quadcore processor is possible.

of coruse, it's not as fast as a pc cpu.

Seriously, the PSP is in every sense of the word, a failure. In and of itself, it's not, 60 million is very impressive, but heck, we don't ever evaluate anything in isolation, and the PSP, going by context and the prevailing market conditions, is an utter failure.charizard1605

You can make that argument in the context of how fanboys think, with races, one best platform, epic wins, floppage, pwnage, ect. Companies don't think that way. They think in terms of profit. The PSP has sold over 63 million units, and they've made a tidy profit on every unit sold. They've sold over 250 million games for the platform, and received liscencing fees on each one. Considering Sony's financial shortfall with the PS3, I'd imagine they're happy about - if not satisfied with - with the install base of their first foray into the handheld market.

The argument that the Wii's sales rate translates into a failure for the PSP is silly. Are you saying that every other game console ever sold, with the exception of the DS, is also "an utter failure"? The iPhone/iPod Touch platform has outsold the Wii in even less time. Does that make the Wii "an utter failure"? Of course not. You can't judge market position in a vacuum. But the idea that everything selling slower than the leader has failed just isn't true.

Come on Charizard compared to the Wii everyhting its a failure.

I understand that but people actually think it is going to have 4 actual cores.

Depends on the manufacturing process used.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"]Sgh, this is so not going to work. Sony, has the failure of the PSP taught you NOTHING?RavenLoud

It's probably not too difficult if designed well enough. Now this is just an educated guess but they could just use a quad core with a low clock, perhaps running at 250-333 Mhz each. this will keep temps low and processing power 4 times greater than the PSP. Add a small fan in the design and they're good.Zero_epyon

they had an E3 in the last 2 years? :P

I cant believe Sony STILL refuses to learn its lesson. Stuff bleeding edge tech into a new system and the price of manufacturing it skyrockets, which almost guarantees low sales due to sticker shock. The PS3 is a prime example. I don't think I need to remind anyone of their E3 2006 press conference, during which they announced the PS3's astronomical price to a stunned (silent) audience. Whats wrong with optimizing cost effective, current tech like nintendo is doing with the Tegra (2?) in the 3DS (I know its in there). It's powerful, yet not horribly expensive. This chip is overkill if its as beefy as advertised, and is sure to drive the psp2's price up to at least 250-300, which I am WHOLLY unwilling to pay for a handheld.

Thats impossible, dude hahahaha

So essentially, it will be like the PSP was to the PS; more powerful, but not as powerful as the PS2, or in this case, more powerful than the PS2 but not as powerful as the PS3. And any Cell brand processor does not have "cores" but "PPEs" which are different. And I don't doubt battery life will be an issue... but given the state of modern batteries, I don't see how power consumption monitoring could alleviate it.

CPU power draw is nowhere close to GPU.

Example: Top of the line Core i7s have 140W draw. GTX 480 has an average power consumption of 362.9 in a benchmark at Tom's Hardware.

Ok so a GTX480 consumes more than twice the power of an i7??

Was'nt there rumours some months back, about the PSP2 having a Quad core GPU? I doubt it will have a powerfull GPU and a CPU, if we look at Sony's past, the CPU will probably be the most powerfull component in the PSP2.

And I don't think it's a problem for them making a quad core processor (being it a Cell or a normal quad core CPU) in a handheld, it will depend on what type of chipset technology they will use, and the clocking of the cores and memory.

this is nothing cheek out and this is on a phone.http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra_250.html others

SO to say that a devie can't take someting as advanced as the Cell is just wrong. a 4 core Cell at 32nm SOI is not a difficult feat. BUT Cell is old tech. They could use the updated redesigned Powerxcell http://www.t-platforms.ru/en/tcell/processor/specification.html
