PS3 CPU "Cell Broadband Engine" The PS3 uses the Cell microprocessor, which is made up of one 3.2 GHz PowerPC-based "Power Processing Element" (PPE) and six accessible Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs). A seventh runs in a special mode and is dedicated to aspects of the OS and security, and an eighth is a spare to improve production yields.

Not only is the $299 PS3 Slim a skinnier version than its fat bro, it also features a new upgraded Cell processor (jointly developed by IBM, Toshiba, and Sony), according to an IBM spokesman, that ...
The Power Processing Element (PPE) comprises a Power Processing Unit (PPU) and a 512 KB L2 cache.In most instances the PPU is used in a PPE. The PPU is a 64-bit dual-threaded in-order PowerPC 2.02 microprocessor core designed by IBM for use primarily in the game consoles PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but has also found applications in high performance computing in supercomputers such as the ...
CD-ROM drive re-located on right side of CD bay to prevent overheating issues with the CD drive. Digital servo for focus/tracking introduced, manual gain/bias calibration removed. Lens carriage reinforced and power simplified, making FMV skipping issues less prominent. Only revision with vibration damper under the drive.
