What's Under the
Hood
As with previous models, the PlayStation 3 120GB
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 120GB 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 120GB 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, 120GB 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 120GB system does
not offer backwards compatibility.

card, promises an endless stream of mind-blowing
games, and other multimedia content. This doesn't

demos, movies, and other content, as well as chat
