Okay. I read the dailytech.com article, but it just referred to the beyond3d.com article that I linked to. As far as the hotchips link... I was the one that provided that.
So we really have 3 links so far:
1. hotchips, which talks about the SCC but only speculates that it might be in the PS3
2. dailytech, which refers to the beyond3d link
3. beyond3d, which talks about the 1.80 release and the horizontal scaling it provides, but only speculates that there might be a hardware scaler involved
I still can't find any direct reference to a hardware scaler in the PS3... just speculation. There very well could be one in there, but it's a mystery to me why it's taking Sony so long to provide a full SDK interface to it if that's true. Either Sony had problems integrating it into the system, they're using the scaler for something else that can't be interrupted, or it's not there.
I'm open to suggestions as to other possibilities.
At least with the horizontal scaling in 1.80 it *is* possible to provide upscaling from the funky 960 x 1080 resolution. Time will tell if developers decide to use it, or opt to wait for full upscaling functionality.
