The original PlayStation introduced the concept of the Graphics Synthesizer via the real-time calculation and rendering of a 3D object. The new GS rendering processor is the ultimate incarnation of this concept--delivering unrivaled graphics performance and capability. The rendering function was enhanced to generate image data that supports NTSC/PAL television. The quality of the resulting screen image is comparable to movie 3D graphics in real time.
The Graphics Synthesizer incorporates a massively parallel rendering engine that contains a 2,560-bit wide data bus--20 times the size of leading PC-based graphics accelerators. Very high pixel fill rates and drawing performance are achieved using embedded DRAM process technology pioneered by SCE for use in advanced graphics technology.
