can you guys reassure me?

Well I'll just put this out there because I didn't see anyone correct it through the first 3 pages.

THe 360 has 3 symetrical cores running at 3.2 ghz each.

so? the PS3 has 7 cores running at 3.2Ghz each = 22.4Ghz overall with Nvidia made video card...that's doesn't say alot isn't it? lol :)

If true.. then the whole core hoopla is SEVERLY over-rated..

errr...you don't add the core speeds up. That's like saying there's 2 cars each going at 100km/h then saying 2x100=200km/h.

lol k k 7 cores running at 3.2Ghz is better than 3 cores

[QUOTE="nutcrackr"]it's a very good machine, I think it's more powerful, should run gears at at least 360 res and most other 360 games at very high quality.way2funny

MY processsor is e6600 duo core ...whats the 360 @? And what does this really matter/mean?

you have a great processor.

e6600 owns. Easily overclocks to 3ghz+ with no voltmods or additional cooling. Opens photoshop in 15secs... I havent seen an xbox360 with a mouse, keyboard, and photoshop.

Last I heard IBM doesnt make processors and why would M$ waste money on a processor that is better than its graphics card for a GAMING CONSOLE (Console isn't know for RTS or any processor intensive games). The fact is its worthless. Does anyone remember Celeron D? Its pretty much that, but with 3 cores. C2D/AMDX2 still wipes the floor with xbox360 CPU.

............. No not neccesarly quit acting like a fan boy.. If you would realize that these are made from completely different technologies.. For all we know the 3 cores could be doing a more effiecent job.. You can't do a direct comparison between the two. If that were the case then AMD processors in the past would get destroyed by intel because they only clocked in at 2.2ghz... While Intel past 3ghz mark.. And adding processor speeds on cores clearly shows you do not know what your talking about, because it translate differently then if it were a single core 22.4 ghz processor. On the contrary devs alot of devs are saying that the PS3 is more difficult to work on as a platform.

In fact it is VERY overrated right now.

Why?

Writing software that takes advantage of multiple cores processing data simiultatneously is VERY VERY VERY difficult. Multi-threaded programming, for example, is a very advanced technique of programming that has unique perils (e.g. race conditions, irreconcilable locking ) that are not present at all in traditional single-threaded programming.

Now, if you were to design a game from scratch you might put the physics on one core, the sound system on another core, the AI on its own core, the 3D engine on its own core, etc. But to my knowledge, DirectX and whatever Sony uses are not (or haven't yet) been designed to truly take advantage of the multi-core environment.

And when they do... EXPECT A LOT MORE BUGS!!!
