PlayStation 3 uses the [[Cell (microprocessor)|Cell microprocessor]], designed by Sony, [[Toshiba]] and [[IBM]], as its [[CPU]], which is made up of one 3.2 GHz PowerPC-based "Power Processing Element" (PPE) and eight Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs). The eighth SPE is disabled to improve chip yields. Only six of the seven SPEs are accessible to developers as the seventh SPE is reserved by the console's [[operating system]]. [[Computer graphics|Graphics processing]] is handled by the [[Nvidia]] [[RSX 'Reality Synthesizer']], which can produce resolutions from [[480i]]/[[576i]] [[Standard definition|SD]] up to [[1080p]] [[high definition television|HD]]. PlayStation 3 has 256 MB of [[XDR DRAM]] main memory and 256 MB of [[GDDR3]] [[video memory]] for the RSX. | PlayStation 3 uses the [[Cell (microprocessor)|Cell microprocessor]], designed by Sony, [[Toshiba]] and [[IBM]], as its [[CPU]], which is made up of one 3.2 GHz PowerPC-based "Power Processing Element" (PPE) and eight Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs).
