LSI may be lossing Playstation 2.................................. next-generation.com PlayStation 2: The Race Begins We have received our first inklings of the technology that will be in the machine... November 9, 1998 Toshiba Electronics has announced a new chip set that will be, according to a source at Sony Computer Entertainment in Japan, inside the PlayStation 2. The chip will be introduced at the International Solid State Circuit Conference in February in USA and includes a built in MPEG 2 decoder circuit as well as a DMA Controller circuit. In fact, it includes more 10,500,000 circuits. Toshiba Electronics announced the chip earlier today in Japan, though the announcement did not include a name. A spokesperson for Sony declined to comment on the chip, but did confirm that Sony would be present at the conference. Our source could not elaborate on the capabilities of the chip, but its MPEG 2 decoding points to DVD compatibility. Whether the PlayStation 2 will have a standard DVD drive or a proprietary DVD compatible drive is anyone's guess at this point. This is the first official announcement from any manufacturer in connection with the PlayStation 2. We can expect more announcements in coming months.
