Andrew said: Wii has ~729mhz IBM Power 3 RISC CPU, x-box is ~733 Mhz intel pentium 3 CPU so cycle for cycle the Wii is twice the speed of the x-boxl. could you explain that to me? it says the xbox has 4 more Mhz of power yet you say that the wii is twice as powerful. As for saying that the wii is more powerful and stuff I think it is important to look at all the information and everything, which I am sure the wii beats the xbox in some parts and vise versa. Do you know any websites that might show this information?

Key words are 'IBM Power RISC CPU' and 'intel pentium 3'. You can research this on your own if you don't understand, but in short IBM's chips at the same MHz are much more powerful than Intel's. The numbers in ratings for computers cannot be considered an easy determinator of wether one is better than the other like say horsepower in a truck. You can only really use this a baseline when you are speaking about the exact same manufacturer. Just like the Wii's memory is actually much more powerful that the xbox's because it not simply regular ram, but 1T-SRAM which is much faster than 'normal' computer/PC ram. So, basically you have: ps2
