No wonder PS3 is smaller than Xbox360!

Xbox 360 warm up really quickly.

"An important fact to keep in mind is that GeForce 7900 is 196 sqmm die size and X1900XTX is 352 sqmm. It is pretty amazing that a chip approximately one half the size of a competitive high-end chip can deliver overall winning performance for today's top 3D games, while consuming less power," Nick Stam, Nvidia's technical marketing director, said. "The 7900 is clearly more efficient architecturally, and this should also translate into lower street pricing."

:shock::shock::shock:Amazing, just amazing!  PS3's graphics chip is half the size of Xbox360's chip, yet PS3's graphics chip is more powerful.

Since when did the PS3 have a 7900, and since when did my 360 have a X1900XTX in it?

It's not the size of the chip, it's how you use it. :wink:Dr_Drooom

Exactly! And neither system is based off of these technologies so wth is this guy talking about?

At least its smaller than the xbox360's power brick....

actually the ps3's grpahics chip is not more powerful - it IS 50 MHZ faster, but that doesnt mean its a btter GPU.  If you think simply having more cores or higher MHZ or GHZ makes a bette rmachine - then your sadly unaware of the way PC's and mahcines work.

AMD has been owning INTEL for a long time with chips that are "less powerful" by your stadnards...

Why the ps3 will have a G71 aka 7900  here why:

G71 is the Playstation 3 RSX chip

Both 90 nanometre G70 derivatives

By Fuad Abazovic: vendredi 04 novembre 2005, 14:23NVIDIA CALLS its 90 nanometre graphic core of Playstation 3, RSX. This graphic chip is set to work at 550MHz and Nvidia can guarantee that a million chips will work at this speed as it's not that challenging at this process level. Nvidia can obviously make G70 work fine at 550MHz but it can not ship millions of those chips, more likely tens of thousands.

When it comes to Playstation RSX we have every reason to believe that this chip is already taped out, as Nvidia plans to have G71 in Q1 2006 already. We expect to see some of these cards even before CeBIT in March 2006.

We managed to confirm that we can actually talk about RSX, as it's G71 and vice versa. Sony just wants millions of chips and it can get them at 90 nanometre. When it comes to graphic performance, the RSX can process 24 pixels with its 24 pipelines while an Xbox 360 powered with ATI's Xenos, R500 chip can do no more no less than double, 48 pixels per clock.

When it comes to G71 as a graphic chip, Nvidia will get that chip to insane speeds and we expect at least 650 to 700MHz for the cherry picked top of the range.

Best of all, Sony and Nvidia can position the Geforce 7800 GTX with 512MB to be the performance estimates of RSX chips but we doubt that RSX will have memory working at an insane 1700MHz plus.

Remember RSX is here to stay for at least five more years and it has to go down to 65 nanometre and 45 in next few years to make it cheaper to produce

..says the guy with the smaller chip.

The 360 is pretty huge cause of the power brick. Many people forget about it.

So many missinformed people.

The PS3 is infact LARGER AND HEAVIER than the 360. Go do a search and you'll see it's true.

Also, the RSX is NOT more powerful than the Xenos.

so why are 360s heating up if power brick is outside of system?dcm06

Amazing, just amazing!  PS3's graphics chip is half the size of Xbox360's chip, yet PS3's graphics chip is more powerful.

NOOB!!!

Funny how people that say that usually have small chips. ;)

the ps3 is bigger than the 360 you strange people have you never seen them together of course the ps3 is bigger the damn thing weighs more than my fridge.boyinfridge

X1900XTX = 256 bit interface. SORRY XENOS IS NOT 256 bit. XENOS IS EVEN LESS POWERFUL THAN X800 GPU ( BUT MORE FLEXIBLE) machitocaliente
