Here's something I found on Dailyradar.com
According to The Register, the developer of the PlayStation3 graphics chip mapped out the system's internals at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference.
The Register reports that the designer of the Graphics Synthesiser (GS), Simplex Solutions, unveiled a .18 micron chip almost twice the physical size of the .25 micron PlayStation2 version.
The PlayStation3 GS will feature 256MB of on-die DRAM, compared to the PS2's 32MB of embedded memory. "GS 3" will be capable of handling 75 million polygons per second with a fill rate of 1.2-2.6 billion pixels per second. Its 2KB internal bus provides a bandwidth of 48GBps.
Simplex Solutions VP Aurangzeb Khan said that yields of the the new GS were meeting Sony's expectations, but he would not say whether the GS 3 would be used in a successor to the PlayStation2. The second version of the PlayStation2's Emotion Engine is due to appear next year.
What's this all about?! Next Year!!? Are they Joking??!

However, I've just looked on IGN.com and the idea of the PS3 has been basically ruled out for now. For the full story go to:

(No 'www.')
Hopefully they're right as the chip doesn't sound the 1000x more powerful than the EE that Sony is (supposedly) aiming at....
Maybe it's for a GSCube type thing?
