Sounds unreal if it is true. A processor like that is gonna be huge.
As for ram @ 256mb. Think about why ram is needed. because usual processing bottlenecks need the ram to store the next set of processes.
But with a 3.5gz multicore processor doing 21billion operations per/sec why would it need such amounts of ram?
It wouldn't so to keep production costs down less ram would be just fine and still be able to process games faster than existing tech. as well as allow for expandability.
As for whether or not by release if that type of processing will be in pc's/ppc would awsome. I haven't read anything of the sort on any dev webs yet but I am now going to look a little closer. Most processors are no where near that type of thing as of yet. commercial wise anyway.
