lol. This discussion is so funny because mainly it is between xbots and ps3fanboys. How many of you are CS/CSE or a branch of those two majors? How many of you know about compilers, how to write one, heck even know how to program (C/C++/OPENGL soon to be OPENCL/etc...). Java is mainly for academic scholastics. This is my 2 cents. Unless you (and the programmers out there) know how to do parallel computing, having a crapload of cores are useless. Look at today's PCs. Mainstream is quadcore, yet core 2 duo can still compete. Reason: Nobody in the industry are writing software that takes advantage of that. Also, to those xbots that keeps touting "the GPU is very complex". Ever heard of Bottleneck? Vice versa to you ps3fanboys.
