PS3 Increases Its Massive Lead on Folding@Home Charts.

Super, first we had format wars, then console wars, now cancer research wars. :|

Same here. I left my PS3 on all of last night doing the Folding @ Home. 

What does this have to do with gaming!?wolverine4262

No games to play=lots of time for folding.  ;)

one PS3> 25 PCs :D THHBO

606 (ps3 tflops) / 152 (windows pc tflops) = 4

4 * 159823(active pcs) = 639292 (# of pcs to do 606 tflops)

639292 / 24747 (active ps3s) = 25.8 windows Pcs per 1 ps3

 Relax dude, it was just a joke.  Methinks you take your loyalty to your little black folding box waaaay too seriously.

 Thats because PC's use general purpose CPU's not cut down graphics cards. If you look at the GPU section of the numbers http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=6609

You will see that GPU's are averaging more then twice the GFlops as the PS3's. Once Nvidia cards can do this and more people upgrade to the x19xx/X20xx/8xxx series of GPU's (there are only 700 folding right now) They will totally destroy the PS3's.

Just 25000 ps3 and it still more than doubled every other folding at home device's combined power...

Yep I have been saying this for a while. Its all about architecture. Remember the Cell was originally intended to do all the graphics processign itself so its alot like a GPU in design. PC CPU's are intended only for general purpose code. The heavy math stuff is offloaded to the GPU.

Good but, the 360s GPU is still better :P KillaHalo2o9

Its about equal to the X1900's doing the folding. The PS3's GPU is a G70 derivative so it cant do Folding@Home. If they made a program like this for the 360 it they could probably use the GPU so it would destroy the PS3 cell or no cell. I doubt its possible unless MS allows general internet access from the Xbox 360 though.
