A processor called "Psyche" has been talked about for quite a while now. At first, the name spread within News Groups, then to the Web, and among enthusiasts like clerks who work for shops in Akihabara or Nihonbashi. There were people who doubted its ablility to upgrade the capacity of a machine just by connecting it to the motherboard. The editorial section succeeded in obtaining a processor which is believed to be "Psyche" through a certain route, and here is a detailed report of it. However we cannot tell you how we obtained it, and questions about the processor cannot be answered.

As you can see from it's appearance, it has a multiple layer structure. It seems that the accumulation ability per die area is not exceptional high since it is a small rot prototype. We got the body but have no documents about the device. Therefore it was installed by trial and error.

As it was rumored, you place the processor on 429pin North bridge, the chipset of the mother board. It was not so difficult to set the device since it was like setting an Over Drive accelarator to the old 386 model. However, we had a hard time making it start. The processor brings 133mhz base clock to 40mhz and interrupts the memory controller with the transmitting rate of 1.6GB/sec. To our surprise Psyche seems to control the whole motherboard and even I/O with its own command by interrupting BIOS. Therefore the jumpersettings will be made invalid. Indeed it's possible to upgrade the clock, and also the signals and the I/O for special purposes can be upgaded drastically. However, it is the result that is important. In the ordinary benchmark test it was excellent in all expects like CPU, FPU, and raytracing, but this was not surprising. It seems that Psyche shows its real abilitiy when connected to a network. During the various tests it proved unbelievalbly efficient in broadcasting on the network. Psyche employ 128bit memory which is equivalent to L2 cache and it seems that the command packet of a network is translated by an interpreter method. Due to this, the amount of data in the packet and the time needed for transmission was improved significantly. Adding to this, the protocol used here involves the code of network protocol which is called next generation TCP/IP, and what was "not visible" has become visible by this. When we accessed to a network with a machine with Psyche, things that we did not intend to download were downloaded automatically and the registry was rewritten. At the same time an application like an e-mailer was installed and a strange message was shown in the floatig window. This message was an oracle and it commanded me. The prophesy must be carried out.
