lol! so the "powerfull cell" Its already outdated!

lol!! Intel Quat core processor owns it! lol whta a shame!! just 4 minths in the market and it got owned by a processor taht came out 1 month ago! lol PabbssPS3

it was out of dated before it even came out. any dual core cpu has more power and x360 is hardly more powerful than the fastest singe core cpu.

the useless gigflop performance, its no use most of the time, gigflops only mean stuff if you want to do huge number crunching for things like scientific caculations for everything else intel owns ibm and both consoles.  the gpu in console may be comparable to mid range pcs now but even a buget cpu has as much power as consoles in the cpu department.  what makes you think consoles would have better cpus when the cpu is the most ofen upgraded component in a pc?

The new machine will combine 16,000 "Cell" processors, the very same chips that will power the PlayStation 3, with 16,000 more standard processors. The completed machine will pack in a grand total of 32,000 processors.

IBM has said that the "Roadrunner" supercomputer will be capable of "petaflop speeds" -- 1,000 trillion floating point operations (or calculations) per second. The closest runner-up supercomputer is the BlueGene/L, which can theoretically handle between 280.6 and 367 teraflops -- roughly 30% of the raw computational ability of the Cell-powered "Roadrunner."

Interestingly, despite being much weaker than Roadrunner, the BlueGene/L packs in 131,072 CPUs -- roughly five times as many processors. The Roadrunner is more powerful with fewer chips because it harnesses the Cell CPU's ability to multitask complex calculations across the 8 satellite processing units -- effectively an eight-core CPU.

so how fast can it compress 100gb of video?  that means far more than the lame gigflop performance that is useless for most things

[QUOTE="miss_kitt3n"]

Intel quad core>>>>>>>>Xenon&cell>>>>>>>>>>>>whatever the hell processor the Wii is using.

FACT!

SambaLele

you missed the part where you back up that FACT... 

how about you run you ps3 though these thest and tell me there scores?

There is a reason why computers are not switching to the Cell Style:lol: Yet keeping with the Duo and QuadsAcenso

its because the cell is useless at anything but gigaflop performance which isn't used for anything much but number crunching

I'd bet a lot of money a cell could compress and decode video way faster than any x86.  :wink:

The Cell is built for floating-point performance.  Games use a lot of floating-point calculations.

there are newer versions of cell chips in the works for computers, HDTVs, etc. the cell in the ps3 is quite powerful even todays standards, and is contributing significantly to the folding@home project.

there even talking about cell implementation of being capable of running network servers or something near that line, becuz of its processing capabilities. who knows you might be having a cell chip put in your brain :lol: becuz u obviously dont know how technology works... everything gets outdated at some point, some faster than usual since technology is going at such a fast pace.

How do you know the quad core owns it? Are you just assuming or is there some proof/benchmarks...munu9

All the benchmarks ive seen of Cell, Cell kills EVERYTHING.
