OK, for those who, as most, don't know what that means this babble, here is the c++ dummie all technical specifications. Take advantage of:

CPU
CPU, or central processing unit, is the brain of a computer or machine. Its main task is to translate the instructions and process data programs rise. In other words, you click on a button, the interpreter CPU which means kicking the bad in the head and resulting in the favorite character, the execution of a sublime round house kick. Virtually all modern processors have a microprocessor in their heart, improve performance drastically from previous methods. CPU of the PS3 is designed exclusively for the console, so is not extremely scalable, but packs a hell coup of handguns for your needs of PS3 games

GPU
GPU, or graphics Pro, no Proceed, hold on, I can't imagine what it will be. I have it! Graphics processing unit! Is the Daddy behind your images on the console and is extremely powerful with graphical manipulation and rendering, because it is a dedicated hardware. While offering atonishing Playstation 3 charts, it also reduces some CPU load, allowing the brain to do what she does best

Sound
The PS3 will have speakers Dolby audio, home theater quality systems. In short, when you hear a few towers cracking a semi automatic behind you, Japan not have invaded, his game.

Memory
Never forget where you put that damn memory card? Similarly, the PS3 does not attempt. The PS3 console memory is important, it never forgets where to look your last reward, villains you've killed or puzzles you have resolved. The more memory, better it will be. When information is stored in memory, it is much faster for the system recover this information, as opposed to the reading of the hard disk in otherwise less hanging and jumping.

Band bandwidth system
A little is a speculative term that is difficult or almost impossible to prove. This is a complex hypothesis involving the ability of certain sections of communicate with each other, how fast they do so, what is the extent of the resources they use. If you want more information, try a quantum computer in the course of the evening.
Floating Performance of Point System
System Floating Point performance is an indicator of the computer or console performance especially when extensively floating point calculations. The PS3 has 2 TFLOPS (of course), which is equivalent to 1012 FLOPS (naturally). In simple terms, the console can calculate advanced calculations prety damn quickly

Storage
Everyone likes a lot of storage space. For the car, home or Office, you just can't get enough sometimes. The Playstation 3 like space too, there a lot of data and information to store, when he needs to remember things permanently, or memory cannot cope. With 20 GB or 60 GB hard disk space, you have enough space to swing 10 cats tied together with string.

E / S
I/O, i/O, its off to work we will. I/O (input/output), are the speed and type of devices that the PS3 reads or writes. As you can see, there are a few gadgets that you can connect to the console.

Communication
Communication is the key to success, and this model of Playstation took a leap of its predecessor and is now connected to the internet or super information highway as often stated. Multiplayer online game is now a thing of the present with the new PS3 chic

Controller
Controllers for control essentially (yep, controlling) how different components communicate and interface with the other. Generally, this applies to devices (step on board). Exciting things.

AV output
Output AV is the output display method, the visuals see you when running amock in the greater Toronto area. You may have the best GPU, but no mechanism for it on your screen, your screwed pipe.

Disk
Obviosuly, what type of disc your Playstation 3 can read. There are a few formats supported, so check out em
