655961 2008-04-04 20:31:00 Just because they think PS3 has a 8 core processor means that it can kick any the high end pc's. But they are wrong as Intel has a 80 core test sample cpu of very fast calculations ages ago.


Not 8 SPEs only 7. In PS3 will only built processors with one defect SPE. For Games and Linux run 6 SPE because 1 SPE runs in a special mode for the Hypervisor.

Indeed an compare based on numbers of the cores is a little bit senseless.
Intel and Cell processors have a to different architecture to compare, you should know that as a computer whatever.
For a normal desktop system the cell is improper.

Talking to you Insane.People in glasshouses, shouldn't throw stones ... your only contribution to this thread so far is to stir things up.


It always amuses me that some people who like to point the finger are guilty of the same behaviour.

Not true. Earlier on, I tried to warn Insane so that things wouldn't get to this stage :D

655965 2008-04-05 03:29:00 Back to the point though, I made the decision to buy a console instead of a gaming computer and I've never been happier. So what if I don't get 700fps? The games work better, don't have to install, and the console hasn't red-ringed on me yet (it's a 360... fingers crossed). The OS is designed from the bottom up to support the games (~30% of vista crashes are due to faulty nvidia drivers).

I use a laptop for most of my day to day computing. The way I see it, I've saved myself heaps of space and also money, and I don't have to worry about keeping up to date for the latest games.

Lol@ Insane though. When I get my arse handed to me on a plate I at least have the decency to go into a corner and cry about it.
