The PS3 has 256 mb of ram (roughly 1/16th of a decent gaming rig) as well as 256 mb video ram (gaming rigs generally have 256-512 mb), and yet it has a processor that is better than most gaming pcs. It also suffers the limitation of a small harddrive and slow disc read speed, compared to modern pc's
The end result of this is that the PS3 is not actually good at gaming. It is good at folding at home, and solving big maths equations. It is not optimised for displaying many polygons in real time.
Whilst it only uses 60% of the processor, no doubt the ram was full, the vram was full, and during loading times data is read from the blu ray as fast as possible |
The 360 has 512 of general purpose memory which is 1/8th a decent gaming rig. The 360 has 0 dedicated video memory which pretty much guarantees you of running pc games on low settings. Both the 360 and the PS3 are good gaming machines that will always fail comparisons to a pc gaming rig.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
