But as we've established, I have no ability to tell the two of you apart anyway. But the point is, and I'm sticking to this, whoever it was knows what they're talking about, so it <em>must</em> be true. You might have a point.

I'm using figures from the Economist article, confirmed by somthing that Mike might have remembered reading at some stage. So it must be true. The Playstation seems to be quite a beast! I suppose it's nice being able to design architectures from scratch, without the need to make it backward compatible as one does with computers. Well, no, my sources are not that closely checked.

Are you using the information at http://www.top500.org for your comparison? I knew a friend when I was studying at UT in Austin who had a summer internship with IBM working on some architecure-related issues for the Playstion 2 processor. I remember hearing all about it over $1 beers at The Library (a bar) on Sixth Street one Thursday night. Ah, the $1 beers. How I miss those. That’s interesting.
