"Cell greater than Xenon" argument = Over *Updated*
This topic is locked from further discussion.
People were saying how much greater the Cell is than Xenon. Cell may be more precise than Xenon cause of its SPEs, but Xenon has more raw processing power cause of its true, 3 core versus Cells 1 core. Cells 8 SPEs doesnt matter since they are only as fast as the PPE that is a controller for each SPE and if the PPE struggles, they struggle.Link
Think of games like Kameo and N3 with hundreds or thousands of enemys on screen, thanks to its 3 cores its able to multiply its AI and Physics better than cell because its more efficient and more data is able to be pushed through its 3 cores, thats why it has a 512MB GPU Vs 256MB. Another example is Forza 2, 360 physics and AI calculations per second, along with real-time damage for all 300+ cars all at 60fps. http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/11214/Forza-2-60fps-Better-Physics-and-PGR3like-TV-Confirmed/"It was revealed that the game engine is multi-threaded...It is therefore likely that the Xbox 360 version will also be able to take advantage of the Xenon CPU's three cores which have a total of six threads."
"It was also claimed that the game is unlikely to run on single-core systems"Link
If you look below, Each CPU in the Xenon only has to handle 2 threads, The Cells 1 CPU has to handle 8 threads, making it much less efficient and sometimes less powerful.
Xenon:
Cell:
Another reason Xenon is more efficient:
"The CPU cores (there are three) are the highest frequency PowerPC cores currently available, running at 3.2GHz. Throughout, the CPU uses extensive clock gating, leaving pipelines shut down until there are instructions to be processed; this dramatically reduces power consumption under real-world loads. The basic design is a 64-bit PowerPC architecture, with the complete PowerPC ISA available"

Wow you have absolutely no idea what your talking about, If is some kind of april fools joke..... cause if its not ar yeah lol
And what is it with forza? ive seen the vid clips and GTHD owns it.

i dont no what the tc is talking about but saying GTHD owns forza is plain stupid.... GTHD as static back grounds no real world lighting it may as well be a rollarcoster.. forza as real world lighting full physics and car damage and no static backgrounds, but if your a cow that wont matter to you because sony as already took over your soul :P

Damage control!!! Tons of developers say otherwise. I also have the link to a video in which IGN's own editor-in-chief admitted to speaking with developers and guess what he said? The PS3 is more powerful! If 360's own editor-in-chief can admit it, why can't you?People were saying how much greater the Cell is than Xenon.
