o site esta enganado Ring Edge e Ring Wide sao placas de Arcade que ja sairam no ano passado alias ate saiu um novo Daytona USA para elas e outro jogo deve ser lançamento nos mercados europeu e americano por isso a patente
e basicamente uma torre de PC
a Sega nao vai voltar ao mercado de videogames ate acertar sua situaçao financeira que esta melhorando mas nao resolvida
Esse configuraçao para um arcade da atualidade esta otima mas perante os videogames PS3 e X360 nao
Sega Ring series
The Ring series of arcade machines are also based on PC architecture. Initially announced models include RingEdge and RingWide. The 2 pieces of hardware will have Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 2009 as its operating system. The reason Sega decided to use a Windows embedded system was so other third-party companies would find it easier to produce games for it. The first game for the Ring platform is Border Break, running on the RingEdge. Border Break does not take full advantage of the graphics card on the Ringedge, but introduces touch-screen functionality and a special controller system. It allows players to play next to each other in the same arcade or against other people in another arcade using Sega's ALL.NET feature. Also in Fall 2009 an image appeared around the web of what was apparently a leaked RingEdge BIOS and it appears the disc drive supports the now defunct HD DVD[28]. On February 10, 2009, Sega approved a patent for two controller designs, one that looks similar to the Sega Saturn 3D pad with a added touch screen device and one that looks similar to the Mega Drive 6-button pad.[29]
Sega also approved a patent for USB Flash Memory cards and Hard drive on July 7, 2009.[30]Although the Hard Drive remains unexplained, Japanese Arcades have long had access to items such as floor mats and USB flash drives unlike their American counterparts(please scroll down when you reach the page on the link) [1].Because of these patents, rumors have been spreading that Sega is going to release a new home console based on Ring hardware in 2010 or 2011. Sega has yet to clarify exactly why these patents were issued, possibly because these rumors may be true.[30]
[edit] RingEdge
The RingEdge is the main console of the Ring Series. It has better graphics and a larger storage than the RingWide. It also sports a better graphics card than the Lindbergh system, allowing for a higher performance graphically, all while costing less to produce. The use of an Intel Pentium Dual-Core (1.8Ghz per core) processor delivers better performance than Lindbergh's Pentium 4 (3.0Ghz) processor. A Solid State Drive also greatly reduces wear-and-tear due to lack of moving parts, and also has much higher transfer rates than a hard disc drive, leading to better performance and loading times.

* GPU: Nvidia GeForce 8800M GTS with 384 MB GDDR3 SDRAM (Shader Model 4.0)
* Output: 2 DVI ports
* Storage: 32GB SSD
* Networking: Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T)
* OS: Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 2009

[edit] RingWide
The RingWide is more basic than the RingEdge, and only has 8GB (Compact Flash) of storage, while RingEdge has a 4 times larger storage (because of the use of the RAM Drive and SSD). The RingWide will be used to support games that are less graphics-intensive and that require less high-end specifications in order to cut down costs for those particular games. Sega also appears to be poised to be designing a streaming hybrid for use with household TVs similar to OnLive from the system's hardware as shows this patent that was issued by them on November 17, 2009.
