If the
rumors of 8 PPC chips with 8 vector units per PPC hold true, they
might be
able to do just that. The idea of 8 PPC chips would fit into in the
MCM
plan very nicely. The only problem would be cooling the beast.

And _paying_ for the beast. 8 PPC CPUs in a cheapo game console?? ;-)

I have no problem with that. You? ;-)

Is all this expensive XBox2 technology still intended to display on a
640x480 regular tv ?

Hope atleast 1080i or 720p, or otherwise they would be taking a step
backwards. ;-)

Of course it will be compatible with "regular" TV's...

It is all conjecture, but I am anxious to see where it leads
within the next 7 years. I will say that a look back at cutting
edge video 7 years ago as compared to 2 years ago makes me feel
even more confident about that 2010 timeframe.

11.9.2010. Same place.
Then we shall see who was right and who was wrong.

LOL!

Deal - but only if my old, rusty circa 2008 3D holographic display
is back out of the shop...

Coolness.

All this discussion about the future got me wondering what people were
speculating 10 years ago would be the state of gaming today. So I had
a hunt on Google and came across this thread from 1993 about the
future of gaming circa 2003...

Some quotes:

"In the next decade (the 00's?) we'll have digitzed odours,
holographic
VR and synthezised blood, but we'll still be blowing things up."

"Virtual Reality: That's the first thing that pops to mind nowadays
when anyone talks about
video games of the future. Cheap color eye goggles are certain to be
developed within a decade as already some good TV resolution LCD
displays are available."

"I think we would probably have virtual
reality machines in arcades (they will replace the popular video game
arcades one sees now - it has already begun to happen), and one could
probably see some kind of personal computer linked to a virtual
reality machine (sort of like they have done with combining a Sega
Megadrive
with a PC)."


LOL! Stop making me feel old!
