Abstract: | Makers of superfast multimedia chips are rushing to map a gadget-filled future that could make the PC obsolete. When Sony's engineers in Tokyo and California were searching for a silicon brain for the company's first video game three years ago, they knew they needed something special to make a splash in the cutthroat $4 billion game-player business. Sony wanted to upstage market leaders Nintendo and Sega Enterprises with scenes so realistic that kids would think they were watching television, not computer-generated images. |
