Oh yes it will! If 0.12um is over built and nobody makes money, 25x forward looking earnings falls to really equals book plus falls to really equals <$20 again. I hope that it will anyway, then it's time to play the next round with the gains from the previous round.... Oh well, time will tell. patrick

Sony puts on game face with new chip C\|NET - May 5, 1999, 12:25 p.m. PT Sony so badly wants its next-generation game console to offer a super-realistic "virtual reality" experience, the company will design and build its own advanced 128-bit processor to realize this goal. Processors inside game consoles usually toil away in anonymity, derided as as poor cousins to desktop chips such as Intel's Pentium line. But with Sony Computer Entertainment's ambitious plan, its chips could outclass the offerings of the world's largest chipmaker--if all goes well. To keep up with the heavy graphics demands of video games, the new PlayStation will rely on a 128-bit chip based on core technology from MIPS and manufactured under a joint venture with Toshiba. This new main processor, called the Emotion Engine, will run at 300 MHz, and it even has the 32-bit processor from the first-generation PlayStation attached alongside of it on the same piece of silicon so it can play older games. news.com o~~~ O
