[QUOTE="imprezawrx500"] that celeron completely destroys that crappy ppc cpu in the x360 that can't even run out of order code :lol: a pentium 2 can do something the 360 can't.dc337
The PS3's cell is also an in-order-cpu, so any celeron must destroy it as well, right?
You do realize that the 360's xenon is a triple core cpu with each core running at 3.2 ghz, right? Each core is also capable of handling two threads much like intel's hyperthreading. Hmm wait hypertheading is something that core 2 duo cpus can't do, so by your logic they must be crappy.
Because not having a specific feature makes a cpu crappy. Every cpu is then crappy.
You have some reading to do.
intel made hyperthreading as a way to handle multitasking, acts as another fake cpu core kinda, but it was mainly useful for singlecore.
that celeron doesnt really need it, no core 2 duos have hyperthreading unless you get the highend model.
but out of order cpu's are faster than in order code.
plus powerpc architecture pretty much sucks, see here.

A brief history of chip fibs, flops: Intel, IBM, AMD
In short, the PowerPC failed to challenge Intel in the PC market in a big way. (Though it has been reincarnated as IBM's Cell processor that powers Sony's PlayStation and the architecture still powers IBM servers.)
