Processors

Is it true the PS3 will have a chip in it capable of up to 16 trillion floating point operations per second?  Am I going stupid, or isn't that 16,000 GHZ around abouts?  It ahieves this with 10 cores, but still, thats a mighty impressive effort.  If it's true I guess we've jumped out of Moores law.

Now surely we need to improve encryption alogithms in the next year or so because we will have home computers will soon be fast enough to brute force crack nearly anything out there today within days.

Are we at the dawn of a computing revolutio?

the PS3 will sure be pretty f**king powerful!

but Sony have a vision of using it for everything in your home, not only Games..

Maybe they should change the name to HomeStation..
