thats a satisfying answer. thank you. though i still wish the gpu had more memory, perhaps we would have more 1080p games.

It has an 8 core processor 7 are used and one is used for back, thats over double the 360

I'm talking about the gpu, not the cpu

[QUOTE="LordAragis"]

I was checking PS3's hardware on the net and i've read in a few posts that Xbox 360's gpu is slightly better than PS3's. How come Sony made the ps3 gpu less powerful than Xbox360's? I mean, yeah the cell cpu is one of the most powerful available, but wouldnt it be better if cpu was less powerful (say, 4 cores)but the gpu was a gaming monster? Isn't gpu more important for gaming?:?Note: I am not an Xbox fanboy or anything. I got all sony consoles (ps1, ps2, psp, ps3) so i guess that makes me a sony fanboy :P. I'm just curious why sony decided to make the cpu monstrous and the gpu not-so-monstrous.

It is merely a question. And I doubt you even understand what I asked.
