so ya the chips are fairly equal, I completely agree, but 3 cores versus 7(or 6,they say one is turned off). Ps3 defiantly more powerful. problem is coding.

 

 

Again, the CELL processor in the PS3 only has a single core.

 

Dr. H. Peter Hofstee, Cell Chief Scientist and Cell Synergistic Processor Chief Architect ...

SAY'S the Cell Processor's SPE's are Cores

unless you are saying he's wrong

so that's now: 2 people from VGchartz that are saying the "Cell Chief Scientist" is wrong

The good Dr. is also making a sales pitch...but I do think it is multi-core, just not in a manner we are accustome to seeing it...ie...independent.

 

Dr. Hofstee was making a sales pitch by telling the people what his creation is?  BTW, the SPEs are "independent".  Maybe you mean it's not in the manner you are accustom to seeing independent cores (i.e. not traditional identical CPU cores).
