It's not even a contest. The PS3 outclasses a SuperComputer in every way!!

1. Games - There are few games being made for a SuperComputer, while the PS3 has games like MGS4, DMC4, RFOM, and more exclusives that will never appear on a SuperComputer! Ever!

2. OS - A SuperComputer can only run a command-line style OS while the PS3 can run YellowDog Linux with a kick-ass GUI.

3. Graphics - The PS3 beats a SuperComputer in Floating-Point calculations making graphics on the PS3 that much superior

4. Internet - Since anyone can get on, the Internet on a SuperComputer is overflowing with jerks and idiots, while the PSN network is like a specialized country club for only the hardcores. It's better than the internet because only the cream of the cream can be there.

5. Form Factor - Supercomputers take up roomfulls of space with their large transisters, while the PS3 can fit neatly in your entertainment center.

This is a living thread, add your own reasons why the PS3 is greater than a SuperComputer!!

Intel just developed an 80 Core Cpu, that only uses a few 100 whats of power and takes very little space.

What part of you thinks that a $800 peice of harware can outperform multimillion dollar hardware.

that thing is at least a whole nother generation off and by then someone will have prolly made a 1000 core cpu or sumthin, its just getting out of hand now.

PS3 Graphics hardware is allready outdated by the 8800GTX (2x more powerfull than RSX) Cell has allready be proved to be crippled by harware architecure and not that effcient at gaming. Out of order execution CPUS like an Athlon 3000+ are more efficient for games.

But not today's multi-teraflop supercomputers used in climate forecasting and so on. And a lot of these new ones, though custom-built, use off-the-shelf parts.

Thing is, the Cell excels at mathematical computation, but in terms of general computing tasks (logic functions, branching, etc.) it's not nearly as optimized.

The real challange is putting the ps3 up again a modern day gaming computer in a real test.

They build software for this. The exact same graphics etc will run on both systems, and the software will track the frame rate and so forth. The same test that see what graphics card is more powerful, the modern Nvideo or ATI

No, the real challenge is trying to find common ground with such radically different architectures. Modern PCs and Macs are x86/x64-based. The 360 and PS3 are both Power-based. And the graphics chipsets used in both consoles have no exact counterpart in the PC world, making proper comparisons virtually impossible (and yes, the closest PC analogs still have performance-significant differences, such as double the bus width).

All those comments are wrong, even the game comment (well if the supercomputer is a PC), since the PC has much better games, mroe games, and more better looking games than the PS3, hell PS3 lacks exclusives (if you factor in the rumors) Anyway PS3 kind of sucks atm, plain and simple, it aint that bad, but it is much lowe than what people expected, and i mean come on, if you spend $600 on a gaming system, you expect something special, the PS3 just aint ready to give you your moneys worth (gaming wise)

and the PS3 is more expensive than a 360 that owns PS3 to hell but gets owned by computers because they will always always be ahead of consoles.

A supercomputer is designed to do insurmountable amounts of calculations at lighting speeds... and nothing else... the PS3 is a home entertainment device, designed to play games, movies, etc.

They are two entirely different machines. Oh yes, and a Core Quaddro, with a 8800GTX and 4GB of PC2-6400 RAM would easily destroy a PS3.
