PlayStation CPU powering probe travelling toward Pluto
3.完整新聞內文:
The original PlayStation's CPU is powering the New Horizons space probe.
原本PS1的CPU用在新視野號上
The same CPU was used in the original PlayStation console, which was first
released in 1994 and ran at 33.8688MHz. It was implemented by NASA scientists
in the New Horizons Space Probe, which was launched in 2006 and has travelled
more than three billion miles in its journey.
According to The Verge, NASA has always preferred hardware that has been
"tried-and-tested" over newer technology, which may be riskier to use.
Reliability is prioritised over power, which is why a 12-year-old CPU was
used, with a few tweaks made to help with surviving in space.
NASA一直喜歡用子龍任務完整破關的硬體而不是剛要進行全民公測的新科技
可靠性遠比性能更重要，這也就是為什麼12年歷史的CPU會被使用
Various gaming hardware have been employed by NASA in its past projects,
including use of the Kinect and Oculus Rift to control a robotic arm in real
time. NASA has also revealed plans to use Microsoft's HoloLens augmented
reality headset in the International Space Station, where it will provide
support and guidance for day-to-day actions.
各種遊戲新科技已經被NASA採用了。比如說微軟的Kinect和Oculus Rift用來控制太
空中的機器手臂。微軟最新的HoloLens則會被用在國際太空站中來和人互動

認真說
有一億人測試過的蘋果A8處理器不是更棒？
只是如果只能跑iOS的話就有點麻煩
要不然有自我保暖的S810不是更棒？
在冥王星那應該是如魚得水吧？
