Scumbria, Re: There was an article in EE Times(?) a few weeks ago saying that the Sony Playstation CPU could process more 3D triangles per second than Merced Forgive my ignorance. What does it mean for processing more 3D triangles per second to a CPU ? I thought CPU is usually by MFLOPS or something like that. Gary

<There was an article in EE Times(?) a few weeks ago saying that the Sony Playstation CPU could process more 3D triangles per second than Merced.> Link, please? I think you're getting a little confused, especially since no one, including yourself, knows any data on Merced performance. Sony is claiming, however, that their upcoming Playstation 2 will be able to run games three times as fast as a Pentium III: zdnet.com Of course, that statement is rather vague, considering that the Playstation 2 isn't going to be released until late 2000.
