PS3 Firmware, The Best Is Yet To Come…
The head honchos in the Playstation 3 technology department say that the firmware will undergo yet another round of improvements.
Sony Computer Entertainment’s CTO Kawanishi and Audio Video Manager Kanehide both stated they believe there is still room for improvement by an additional 30 to 40 percent in terms of the visual upscale and overall audio quality. On top of that they added that they can foresee a fanless PS3 as well.
“We have gotten feedback from them (critics) regarding several failure patters for upconverting, but we are getting closer to the goal. I think we can improve another 30 to 40%,” said Kawanishi.
He then added, “Nothing yet comes close to the load that Folding@Home applies. And I can see the possibility of a fan-less PS3 in the future, just like there was for the PS2,”
If the idea of a fanless PS3 alone doesn’t shock you then you should probably check for a pulse. Just ask Xbox 360 owners around the world how painful an overheated unit can be.
