“Sony is to follow up the launch of the Playstation 2 next March
with a move into the business workstation market…The new line of
machines will use the Playstation 2’s Emotion Engine processor, and
although the company doesn’t seem to have said anything about
the OS as yet, Linux would seem the logical choice…“
“So for workstations, that would roadmap a product based on
current silicon for second half 2000, probably moving to 0.13
micron the following year (if Sony doesn’t go for this process
immediately), and then an upgrade to the next version the following
year.”
