Ars is running a series of articles entitled "Inside the Xbox 360". Part I covers the Xenon memory and cache architecture and how it relates to Microsoft's gaming concept of procedural synthesis. I'm a hardware guy at heart so I really dig stuff like this.
This article has a Geek Factor rating of 4 stars. ****
What is 'Geek Factor' you ask? It is the Nullstream rating of nerd technical spicyness where 1 is; yawn, a TLA was used and 5 is; break out the turbo propeller beanie, my brain is on fire.
Hmmm, John has a hardware heart, General Grievous has a meatware heart... separated at birth?
Ok Part 2 is up.
