Cows will say this is a lie, look at Killzone 2, but tell me, you think the 360 can't do something better with the 60M or whatever budget and 4 years of development time?

lets see cows spin this one

is it the same? Historically, the 360 version of multiplatform titles almost always comes out better.

Well he's a chip architect, he works with hardware, not software. So I think that statement is his own assumption on how devs would utilize both processors and their raw processing power for applications. As in his word =/= law

The main (or only) Graphics advantage the Ps3 have over the 360 is the Blueray disc space.

Because the PS3 version of multiplats(fallout 3) are just ports and are only using the RSX to render the graphics, not RSX and CELL

The CPU shouldn't be needed to do that kind of Stuff to keep on par with the 360.

im playing rb6 v on ps3 own it on 360,

and you know what hes not true , the library is missing bits and peices here and there, like next to the bathroom in 360 version upstairs, theres a water fountain, in the ps3 version there isnt,

im sure theres other things removed, i havent tried any other levels,

but rainbow six, graphically is better on 360, also theres exclusive dlc on 360 ,

so saying xbox 360/ps3 are equal, in terms of power, is false, one is better in certain areas of lighting etc where as one is better at processing them and has more draw distances, which gta proves that, on ps3 it looks realistic but it is darker, on 360 its brighter,

That would make more sense, especially since I don't see anyone using the 360 processor to build super computers or do clustering, but the Cell you do.

In theory you could cluster a whole truck load of PowerPC CPU's together to create the desired a result, But it would be more expensive.

But the N64 Had a Huuuuge bottleneck when it came to the RAM. I remember studying that in college. (I majored in Computer hardware at that time)

DO you really think this? I hope not it's all marketing propaganda by microsoft. Also you claiming 4 years of development time is true, but ask why 5 times and you will come up with your answer. Your entitled to your own opinion so if I was you I wouldn't seek the truth. WHy? because you act a lemming and the truth will hurt, so my advice is please......Keep your current world views of the powah of teh 360. Oh and buy a ps3 please so you can play killzone2. You will never see a game that looks that good on the 360, Never. Fact is fact and I dare you to show me a game on the 360 that will match the killzone2

people like david shippy, the designer of the cpu's of the 360 and ps3 said this

John Carmack, a rocket scientist and founder of Id says the 360 is more powerful.

You've spoken like a true fanboy for insinuating that these opinions are some kind of conspiratorial progaganda machine concocted by microsoft.

Maybe because Source and the COD4 engine were built to run on the PC first. You can't really say it doesn't work for gaming when you see the some of the best looking games on consoles on PS3. GranTurismo, MGS4, Killzone2 all run fine on the cell and look great.

What are you talking about? Plenty of games used 3D. Games used 2D backgroups because they could have better graphics than the PS1 could provide. But the PS1 was a 3D machine.

The cartridge severely debilitated the N64. It's considered a miracle that RE2 was able to fit onto a cartridge.

Sorry man not even close. He was staying away from the fire on that last coment. Im sure you failed to notice when he said, So in the PS3, you've got this Cell chip which has massive parallel processing power. The GPU in the PS3 is actually stronger. Think of it this way 7 is always better than 3. You can have 7 SPUs doing there own task were as the 360 only has 3 Cores which are dual thread. There is no comparison. The 360 dose not not have a stronger GPU either being there is 256mb ram per SPU and also the PPE the Cell its self can produce the GPU capability of the 360 little lone the actuall GPU.1 PPE dual thread and 6 SPEs single thread do the math. Spin that.

Who ever said Blu-ray makes better graphics is dead wrong. Blu-Ray is a storage medium. The benifits of this are being able to make games bigger and not require multiple discs. yes it is alot more advanced than dvd but no it dosent make the graphics any better. The reason the PS3 can PWN the 360 is its ability to render more on screen objects at a higher native resolution.

It means they can both produce the same graphics, but the PS3 could make a longer game with the same graphics.

Nothing to do with the consoles, it depends on the main console the game is developed on. But I remember IMB making a public announcement saying that the Cell processor had more processing power than the Xenon.

Killzone 2 + Heavy Rain + Uncharted 2 + Gran Turismo 5/GT5:P say otherwise.

P.S

Killzone 2 = 4-5 years of dev

Too Human = 10 years of dev

Sorry navyguy but your wrong. The same cell thats in the PS3 is being used in HDTVs and also Medical equipment. They also combined 6 PS3s together and it was stronger than any super computer they put it up against. Man you just wont admit or say anything nice about PS3. Id say your 600% lemmings with a twist. So i thought i didnt have a 360, weird i havent heard a word since you saw the pics. Told you foot would be inserted to mouth.

What about the Xbox's 10 year project (Too Human) that was a huge waste of money so your point is not valid. The PS3 has been out a year less and is showing more promise it does not matter which is stronger but which is performing better.

That was an interesting read.This far in this gen though this became very obvious to everyone except the Cows who dispite a couple of years of playing their games was still waiting for"Teh Power of Teh Cell" to be unleased.Hopefully this will end those power of teh cell threads.

[QUOTE="navyguy21"][QUOTE="EmperorSupreme"] That would make more sense, especially since I don't see anyone using the 360 processor to build super computers or do clustering, but the Cell you do.djsifer01
lol, and the cell used for that IS NOT the same one that is in the PS3

Sorry navyguy but your wrong. The same cell thats in the PS3 is being used in HDTVs and also Medical equipment. They also combined 6 PS3s together and it was stronger than any super computer they put it up against. Man you just wont admit or say anything nice about PS3. Id say your 600% lemmings with a twist. So i thought i didnt have a 360, weird i havent heard a word since you saw the pics. Told you foot would be inserted to mouth.

Links? Also, the Cell is a chip architecture, not just a singular chip. Those cells going in other devices than the PS3 have varying amounts of SPEs and PPEs. They also couldn't have put that 6 PS3 array against very many "super computers", as there are many that would KILL it(there is a supercomputer with something like 10,000 cell chips in it....do you think a 6 PS3 array would be stronger than it?).

Cows will say this is a lie, look at Killzone 2, but tell me, you think the 360 can't do something better with the 60M or whatever budget and 4 years of development time?

lets see cows spin this one

Sorry man not even close. He was staying away from the fire on that last coment. Im sure you failed to notice when he said, So in the PS3, you've got this Cell chip which has massive parallel processing power. The GPU in the PS3 is actually stronger. Think of it this way 7 is always better than 3. You can have 7 SPUs doing there own task were as the 360 only has 3 Cores which are dual thread. There is no comparison. The 360 dose not not have a stronger GPU either being there is 256mb ram per SPU and also the PPE the Cell its self can produce the GPU capability of the 360 little lone the actuall GPU.1 PPE dual thread and 6 SPEs single thread do the math. Spin that.

7 is not always better than 3. If everything else is equal, then that's the case, but each of the 3 cores in the 360 is general purpose that can do any task, while the 6 usable SPEs in the PS3 are more specialized and can only do certain tasks well. Lastly, you are basing all of you conclusions on both GPU's running at 100% efficiency, while ignoring the fact that the rigid nature of the RSX prohibits this and keeps it much farther away from its theoretical maximum than the flexible nature of the xenos allows. In realworld scenarios the more efficient Xenos chip ends up with higher performance than the inefficient RSX even though the RSX has a higher theoretical ceiling.

Oh, I KNOW his facts are screwed up. IIRC he used to argue for BR making better graphics, yet in this thread it appears that he finally learned a few things from being shot down on his prior assertions of PS3 power dominance.

the cell doesnt have 256mb per spe either, that would be alot of ram. both systems have 512 mb but its just disturbed differently

why cant we just determined which system is stronger by the graphics they produce?

alot of users dont even know what they are talking about when it comes to console hardware:?

Haha key word being 'pretty', the PS3 blows the 360 out of the water, he's just trying to be nice to lesser beings.
