  • And here it is... the EE "Emotion Engine" Some specifics about the EE: CPU 128 Bit running at 300 MHz

  • RDRAM 32 MB

  • The GS "Graphics Synthesizer" with its clock frequency of 150 MHz, DRAM Bus Bandwidth 48 GB per second, DRAM Bus width 2560 bits and a Maximum Polygon Rate of 75 million polygons per second... pretty impressive
