MASSIVE changes on GS connectivity, changed "supposed scaler", and 65nm southbridge.
I don't know if the new PS3's will end up with better or worse backwards compatibility than the first models, but what I do know, is that what newer PS3's will be able to do by software, in terms of emulation, older models won't. The GS is now connected both with RSX and the scaler (It is the scaler, isn't it?) with very wide buses, and in the older model, the PS2 hardware is basically isolated from everything else.
Have a look. I've arranged the perspective from existing photographs to make them similar. The result is not polished at all, specially on the edges, but it's useful :lol
American PS3
European PS3
American PS3 -> European PS3
