IBM Grid 256-bit Processor
- High clock rate accelerates every system function (550 Ghz)
- Four-way superscalar architecture, dynamic out-of-order instruction issue,
and speculative execution maximize utilization of processing
- Large unblocking cache keeps essential data in fast memory

Playstation 3(Grid/EE4/GS4) Graphics Architecture
Each PS3 graphics subsystem,or pipe, is composed of a Geometry Engine, four
Raster Managers, and a display generator.

- Geometry Engine: Four high performance Geometry Engine processors perform
lighting calculations and geometric transformations such as translations,
rotation, and scaling. Geometry Engine processor also execute
image-processing functions such as convolution and histogram equalization-a
more effective approach then that of CPU´s.

- Raster Managers: Raster Managers scan-convert data from Geometry Engine
processors into digital images. Raster managers perform pixel operations,
including Z buffer testing, color and transparency blending, and texture
mapping- and they do so with multisample anti-aliasing at real-time rates.

- Display Generator: The Display Generator converts digital data from the
Raster managers into analog or digital video signals for a maximum display
of more then 8 million pixels per PS3 graphics pipeline or more then 130
million pixels per system.

- 1.76TB per second Bus Bandwidth/ultra low latency memory (raw memory)
