Rumors -
1.8Ghz IBM PowerPC G5 processors, a 600Mhz graphics chip from ATI and a 7.1 Digital Sound chipset. The console will apparently sport 128MiB of high speed 1T-SRAM as main memory, along with 256MiB of slower DRAM, while the graphics chip has 12MiB of on-board high speed RAM. 6GiB proprietary DVD-size discs
and rumor 2
IBM Custom dual-threaded PowerPC 2.5 GHz processor, 512 MiB of 700 MHz 1T-SRAM, an ATI R520-based custom GPU core at 600 MHz with 256 MiBs of 1T-SRAM with a average in game performance of 100 million polygons per second and 50 billion shader operations per second.
Have fun reading...
edit
ah damm...messed up the PS3 option...
