New face, same game—the PlayStation® 2 gaming console. It sports a new look, a huge catalog of advanced games and also offers DVD video playback as a standard feature. | |||||
One of the best systems in interactive home entertainment has received a facelift. The PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system is now smaller and more stylish than ever before. New features include, the integrated NETWORK connector, which gives you the power to directly hook your console up to a broadband internet connection and play network-enabled games and applications online. Internal volume and fan noise has been reduced by 75%, overall weight has been cut in half and we trimmed the thickness down to 1.1 inches. While weight and size have decreased, the feature set is as explosive as ever, from the awesome processing power, the same immense, diverse library of great games, the same fantastic DVD and CD-playing capabilities and the same stunning versatility.

| Slimmer Design While inheriting the basic functions and design philosophy of the original PlayStation® 2 system, the internal architecture of the new redesigned PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system has been completely overhauled, resulting in a slimmer and lighter design. Internal volume and fan noise has been reduced by 75%, overall weight has been cut in half and we trimmed the thickness down to 1.1 inches. At about the size of a hardcover book, it's a lightweight with a knockout punch. | |||||
| Four Times the Memory The main memory supporting the high-speed CPU uses the Direct Rambus® DRAM in two channels to achieve a 3.2 GB/second bus bandwidth--or four times the performance of the latest PCs that are built on the PC-100 architecture. | |||||
| Packed with Power The 128-bit CPU is integrated with the state-of-the-art 0.15 micron process technology on a single LSI. The CPU incorporates two 64-bit integer units (IU) with a 128-bit SIMD multimedia command unit, three independent floating point vector calculation units (FPU, VU0, VU1), an MPEG 2 decoder circuit (Image Processing Unit/IPU), and high-performance DMA controllers onto one silicon chip. | |||||
| Four Times the Memory The main memory supporting the high-speed CPU uses the Direct Rambus® DRAM in two channels to achieve a 3.2 GB/second bus bandwidth--or four times the performance of the latest PCs that are built on the PC-100 architecture. | |||||
| Super Computer With a floating point calculation performance of 6.2 GFLOPS/second, the overall calculation performance of this new CPU matches that of a super computer. When applied to the processing of geometric and perspective transformations normally used in the calculation of 3D computer graphics (3DCG), the peak calculation performance reaches 66 million polygons per second. | |||||
| Pioneering Technology The GS Graphics Synthesizer® incorporates a massively parallel rendering engine that contains a 2,560-bit wide data bus--20 times the size of leading PC-based graphics accelerators. Very high pixel fill rates and drawing performance are achieved using embedded DRAM process technology pioneered by SCE for use in advanced graphics technology. | |||||
| Unrivaled Graphics Performance The original PlayStation® introduced the concept of the GS Graphics Synthesizer® via the real-time calculation and rendering of a 3D object. The PS2's GS rendering processor is the ultimate incarnation of this concept--delivering unrivaled graphics performance and capability. The rendering function was enhanced to generate image data that supports NTSC/PAL television. The quality of the resulting screen image is comparable to movie 3D graphics in real time. | |||||
| Superior Memory Access Bandwidth In the design of graphics systems, the rendering capability defined by the memory bandwidth between the pixel engine and the video memory. Conventional systems use external VRAM reached via an off-chip bus that limits the total performance of the system. For the new GS, however, there is a 49-gigabyte memory access bandwidth achieved via the integration of the pixel logic and the video memory on a single high performance chip. | |||||
| Backwards Compatibility Developed with LSI Logic Corporation, the I/O Processor supports Universal Serial Bus (USB), which is the standard for digital interconnectivity. The IOP also delivers backwards compatibility with the current PlayStation architecture. | |||||
| Increased Performance Based on the current PlayStation® CPU, with enhanced cache memory and a new, higher-performance DMA architecture that permits a four-fold increase in data transfer rates, the serial interface is also upgraded to more than 20 times the perfor | |||||
