ROFLOL...yeah, but the cellz mafia will say, "What does he know?" Anyway, in gaming, your GPU is nearly as important as yyour CPU, so this cell worship something leaves me scratching my head.

yup..keep slamming it big boy, because the result's are speaking loud and clear..the Cell Processor is a very good processor for game's

you may not agree with it, and that's YOUR OPINION but your OPINION is far from a fact.funny you point out the GPU is nearly as important as your CPU

 

well its a great thing the "CELL Processor" is also a GPU chip. and before you say not a very good one..

30+ billion shader /ops per sec beg to differ. you may like to gloss over that but it's D@mn near half of the Main GPU in the PS3, and 75%

as much as the main GPU in the xbox360 with (it's base 48 billion shader op's/sec) not the 96 Billion used in code alignment

 

 

 

Once again, cell mafia take ANY critique as a mortal threat...I'm not saying the cell processer isn't powerful, just that it's not this CPU that is going to deliver results that totally can't be touched.  There are also the power usage considerations for how you set it up...

WOW, did i say they can't be touched. there you go putting word's in people's mouth, and what prey tell are you ref. to with this statement?

"just that it's not this CPU that is going to deliver results that totally can't be touched"

by the xbox360?

other processor's in PC's?

 

 

 

 

My original comments weren't directed at you, it was to the people who beat the drum on how Cell is going to save the world...but you responded...so...

Until we see what M$ has to offer in 2009 at E3, Sony looks to have a much stronger line-up in 2009, but it has almost nothing to do with cell...imho...and more to do with content.  This can radically change in a heartbeat, but personally, I've yet to see ONE SINGLE product on the ps3 today to make me  say...I want to get the system...Imfamous is probably the only thing right now I find interesting. 

 

and why do you think that is..?

like i said before the Cell processor was unvailed in late 2004

not very many developer's had access to the development kit in 2005 ,hell some as even late 2007

so do you think the majority of multi-platform game's are getting the best result's on the PS3 if they have near to little experience with the system?

but yet the One's that have : Kojima, Ted Price and other's are getting ggreat result's, does that mean they don't need improvement...no it just mean's the time they have developed content on the PS3 has been more mature than 3rd party. for the most part unless you pay :

a PUBLISHER this time most if not all 3rd party are going Multi-platform

SE: publisher

capcom: Publisher

etc. the only time you may be able to get EXCLUSIVE'S is to invest into a DEVELOPER'S project, or the Developer want's to concentrate on one platform

The point being just because you don't see the advantages of the Cell Processor for game's does not mean they are not there.

just like any hardware..it's what you do with it and what effort you put into it.
