MH,

Well, defering to my technical knowledge is your first mistake. <G> Or maybe you've made others, I don't know.

The second paragraph was the one that sounded to me like the media processor was an extension of the core (which I think is the normal way this works), and that this extension added the RDRAM interface:

SAN FRANCISCO — Toshiba Corp. will charge into high-end networking markets next month when it rolls out a new family of 128-bit MIPS-based embedded controllers. The processors, aimed at high-end routers and switches, will be the first offspring of a new MIPS core co-developed by Toshiba and Sony Computer Entertainment for a media processor expected to power the next-generation Sony Playstation.

The two companies described both the new core and the media processor. at the International Solid State Circuits Conference here this week. The media processor will rely on Direct Rambus DRAMs and 0.18-micron process technology to power up the new video-game console, which may not be released until at least next year.

In re-reading it, the first paragraph certainly sounds like it's the other way around. I don't know. Either way, it's still great news, just maybe "a little more greater", as my kids would say.
