What's Under the Hood
As with previous models, the PlayStation 3 250GB system features
an IBM "Cell" processor and a co-developed NVIDIA graphics
processor that together allow the system to perform two trillion
calculations per second. Yet the 250GB system manages to improve
on this with its 45nm version of the processor, which although
running at the same 60+nm speed as previous PS3 versions, uses
less energy. This makes the unit's smaller size and quieter fan
possible. Along with the traditional AV and composite
connections, the 250GB system also boasts an HDMI
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers
uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible
high-definition TVs and projectors. (The system is capable of
128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD
experience) This console also provides for an extreme sound
experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as
Linear PCM 7.1. Finally, it features cross connectivity with your
PC network and PlayStation Portable (PSP) and its pre-installed,
250GB hard disc drive allows you to save games as well as
download content from The Internet. Unlike The some other models
of The PlayStation 3, The 250GB system does not offer backwards
compatibility.
