im back...from my considerable scarceness ! anyway...on with the show
Me being an AMD fanboy aside, it was extremely interesting to read about AMD/ATI 'Alchemy' chip.
The chips specs have been compared to the processing power of the x360...if this is realised - that pretty darn impressive :)
Basically AMD will be providing these chips for the 'next gen' of handles. I havent read anything concrete about whether this chip will be integrated into the likes of the PSP2 or rumoured MS Handheld(affectionately called the X-boy by some)
heres AMDs press release about it (

Moore's Law(the doubling of the number of transistors on integrated circuits every 18 months) continues to kick a$$ once again :p
one can only imagine what CPUs will be doing in 10 years time. Intel and AMD are already working on octo-core chips...I hope gaming devs can keep up !
