This ain't your dad's gameboy
Offical specs revealed in Japan. Other than the main CPU and memory there will be a GPU that is a combo of the Rendering Engine and Surface Engine with access to 2MB of VRAM at a 5.3 GB/sec bandwidth. There will be hardware support for polygons as well as curved surfaces(bezier, NURBS), morphing, clipping and others, anti-aliasing(?). The system's UMD disk is made up of 60 mm dual layered disk with can hold 1.8 GB, and the transfer rate is suppose to faster than the current DVD transfer standard. Also, the MPEG4 support has been explained, Sony will be using the AVC decoder, which has a high encoding rate, basically you could be watching a 2 hour movie at DVD quality. Sound support is killer, ATRAC3, AAC and mp3 with 3D and 7.1 channel sound. And the last tidbit is a wireless LAN support, which was demanded by game creators.
