Graphics Synthesizer

Overview

The first revision released, CXD2934GB, is known to have been manufactured using a 180 nm process and to consume 19 W of power (calculated from the official information that the initially released Emotion Engine consumed 18 W of power and that EE and GS together initially consumed 37 W of power).

There have been die-shrinks and optimizations over the years, but it's unknown at which revisions these happened.
