PS2: Has VPU1 double the amount of memory compared to VPU0? #171

Closed lucas-akira closed 1 year ago

lucas-akira commented 1 year ago

In the PS2 article, Vector Processing Unit 1 section, it is written that VPU1 has double the amount of micro memory and VU memory compared to VPU0:

The second VPU found, the VPU1, is an enhanced version of the VPU0 with double the amount of micro memory and VU memory.

But the VPU1 architecture diagram shows 16KB for each, which is four times the amount the VPU0 diagram shows (4KB each). Should it be quadruple the amount of memory then?

Keep up the great work with the articles!
