It runs at the Clock speed of 294.912 mHz. It was also used in early PlayStation 3 models sold in Japan and North America (Model Numbers CECHAxx & CECHBxx) (as part of [[EE+GS]]) to provide PlayStation 2 game backward compatibility. Mass production of the Emotion Engine began in 1999 and ended in late 2012 with the discontinuation of the PlayStation 2. The first revision released in retail consoles, CXD9542GB, is known to have been manufactured using a 250nm process, contain 13.5 million transistors and consume 18 W of power. | ||

Emotion Engine has a 1.8 V (2.0 V on CXD9542GB) serial interface with hardware flow control (RXD, TXD, RTS, CTS) as well as a JTAG port. Both do also still exist on [[EE+GS]]. | Emotion Engine has a 1.8 V (2.0 V on CXD9542GB) serial interface with hardware flow control (RXD, TXD, RTS, CTS) as well as a JTAG port.
