r we smarter than the ps3.

It is predicted that by 2050, it will only take a $1000 computer to exceed the computational powers of the human race. A computer is just that - a computer. It can't think, it can only do what it's told to do. Yet in about 15 years, a computer will be able to exceed the computational possibilities of a human brain.urazn13

We don't even know what our brain is doing when we sleep, let alone when we are awake. We know next to nothing about how the brain functions and to make predictions like that is foolish, and also by 2050 there will be some sick inflation, I doubt $1000 will get you a peice of gum, if we are still even using that currency.

 2050 might not come anyways. and i dont think anything will excell past what the brain does. the brain is amazing. enough said.

believe it or not, there are many people who ask questions like this.  You know why?  because they 100% believe all the hype about the power of the PS3.  Thats my one gripe with Sony, they totally overhyped it for a year.  Yeah it has a Cell, but its not a FULL robust cell processor, just like the xboxs processor might be triple core, but its not as robust as a PC processor is.  You can get away with that with gaming consoles, but if you tried to actually use a PS3 or an x360 as an ACTUAL computer and run a FULL windows operating system with office and internet explorer and everything else, you will see that the performance isnt all that.  

People like that are so gullible it makes me feel bad for them

You are correct, the Cell in the PS3 serves very specific functions. I believe it costs Sony $87 for the Cell in the PS3. I use Folding@Home on my PC and the PS3, and I found some interesting results. On my PC which is a Core 2 duo OC'd to 2.65 GHZ it would draw one protein frame every 1m 26s, on the PS3 it draws a protein frame every .069 seconds. Also, the Cell is a RISK based processor. Now, the program doesnt use both my PC's CPU cores, so you could almost cut that time in half, but still the Cell is very impressive.

The Cell is a big deal, and yes Sony makes it look like some telekinetic super power, it isn't, it's still just silicon.

 Apparently not considering there is a posting right now asking if you need internet to play online. And before you ask if the PS3 is smater, how about using proper English, ya know to kinda prove your point. You're pretty much defeating your own purpose there cheif. LOL :lol:
