The laptop-sized PS3 will boast a high-speed internet connection and microprocessor that is several times faster than Intel's Pentium 4 chip used in PCs and game consoles.
Rambus technology was supposed to be the only memory-interface technology to work with Intel's forthcoming Pentium 4 processor.
Intel's new Pentium 4 microprocessor sizzles at an average 110 watts, hot enough to whip up a batch of muffins--and slow a PC's advertised performance.
On the desktop front (shown after the jump), the PC Station BJ series sports a slim, compact form factor, an Intel Celeron D, Pentium 4, or Core 2 Duo E4300 depending on model, up to 1GB of DDR2 RAM, between 250GB and 320GB of HDD space, a dual-layer DVD burner, Windows Vista, and a number of matching displays between 17- and 22-inches.

Intel has shipped 6, 000 prototype Pentium 4 PCs to developers, who are busy developing applications, peripherals and other products that will work with Pentium 4 systems, he said.
Intel has said it plans to introduce the Pentium 4 at 1.4 GHz or higher.
This is why a new Intel chip clocked much lower than the old Pentium 4 chips can still run circles around them.

Then Intel made some fundamental changes to its new Pentium 4 chips.
Fearing a botched launch for Pentium 4 because of insufficient supplies of RDRAM, Intel has conceded in recent weeks that it will use other memory technologies like conventional SDRAM and possibly DDR as a memory option with Pentium 4.
Inside, the machine runs an Intel (nasdaq: INTC - news - people ) Pentium 4 processor with a clock speed of 1.7 gigahertz.
It has an Intel (nasdaq: INTC - news - people ) Pentium 4 processor running at 1.7 gigahertz, an 80-gigabyte hard drive, which is enough to hold plenty of music and video, and 512 megabytes of memory.
It runs on Microsoft 's (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) Windows XP and requires a PC with an Intel (nasdaq: INTC - news - people ) Pentium 4 running at 1.3 gigahertz or higher, though a chip running at 2 Ghz or higher is recommended.
Inside there's an Intel (nasdaq: INTC - news - people )-made Pentium 4 processor, the clock speed of which hasn't yet been revealed--though HP says it will be faster than 2 gigahertz.
The PS3--also known as "The Cell" for featuring a high speed microprocessor that is said to run rings around Intel's (nasdaq: INTC - news - people ) Pentium 4 chip--also has the upcoming Ninetendo Revolution to contend with.
