[QUOTE="lolkie_81"][QUOTE="superferret2029"] As we all know, the Power PC RISC architecture expired from the Mac scene a while back when Apple decided to start using Intel processors. Somehow, Micro$oft thought it would be hot to include a dinosaur in their console. Even though the cell and power PC processors were both devd by IBM, the cell is the replacement for the Power PC. Oh BTW check these links out, youll notice that the peak bandwith for the X360s processor is a joke compared to the Cell's bandwith
XB360 peak bandwith: 21.6Gb/sec PROOF: (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1877385,00.asp)
PS3 Cell peak bandwith: 300Gb/sec (200Gb/sec sustained) and Chipset bandwith: 25.6Gb/sec PROOF: (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1877979,00.asp)

Why the new account? I thought graphics depended on the gpu, dosent the 360 have a better gpu? Was the cell designed for use in gaming consoles? What is all that peak bandwith going to do. What is the advantage of it? How do we know the 360 cpu is not better for gaming as that is what it was designed for? The thing is 99% of people on SW dont know s***, myself included. If you cant answer any of those questions why did you make this tread?
Dude you are clearly clueless about the hardware. stick to arguing about games. I for one, know for a fact that the PS3's GPU is better and faster than the Xenos. Ive seen benchmarks on them. If you doubt me, go out and buy a NVidia GeForce 8800GTX dual processor chipset (a rough equivalent of whats running in the PS3) then buy ANY dual processor ATI shipset (since ATI made theGPU for microsoft. Run 3dMark benchmarks on them and see who comeson top. Its been well known in the PC community that NVidia chipsethave ALWAYS been more powerful than ATI chipsets. go check PCMAG.com or any computer mag that benchmark products or open up both consoles and benchmark it like yourself just like I did. You have NO technical background in hardware.You just seem to have a skill for spitting out the jargon like you know what youre talking about. I live hardware dude.
AHAHAHAHA, im sorry and im sure somebody has made fun of it by now....
but dude, you are a joke. The fact you said RSX was similar to dual 8800GTX's is ridiculous. Seriously pull both specs for me and explain, you won't be able to. The fact is RSX is similar in pixel power to the 7800GTX. Difference being RSX has half the ROPS, and half the bandwidth.
Xenos on the other hand is similar in power to the X1800. The 1800 was more powerful then the 7800GTX, and the vertex power of Xenos crushes both. Xenos also has a distinct vantage in ALU count, and those ALU's are MADD capiable. Shader heaven!
The big problem, and only real disadvantage for Xenos vs RSX is Xenos limited TMU's. 16 vs 24 in relation to how many ALU's it has.
