since the spec's were finalized on the 90 nm scale as 550 Mhz,the PS3's production when it's finalized is and was 550 Mhz. that rumor that the clock speed was reduced to 500 Mhz was just that a rumor. while Nvidia has alway's stated it wasat 550 Mhz. Nvidia publicaly stated it was @ 550 Mhz |
It wasn't a rumor, Sony said it themselves (albeit 'privately' to development partners) around TGS 2006 and Game Watch leaked the story (which western media basically ignored in favor of old spec sheets). VRAM speed also got a downclock from 700 MHz to 650 MHz and there may have also been a reduction in pixel shaders (from 32 to 24). Neither Sony nor Nvidia made any direct statements after the TGS leak afaik?
