$1000 Intel Core i7 965XE's inter-core bandwidth = 40,003MB/s (basically 40GB/s)...TOTAL bandwidth (cache+memory+inter-core) = 106,176MB/s (basically 106GB/s)

$400 PS3's Cell inter-core (EiB) bandwidth = 197GB/s (proven)


If that is true, my friend will be pissed. He spent 2000+ dollars on an uber gaming rig. He thinks he will be able to play PS3 emulators as soon as they pop up in a few years lol.

 

The Cell is a good processor.

However, the console is bottlenecked by every other component.

Duh.(couldn't help it)

LOL!  That was the popular saying in the past, wasn't it?!  The REAL bottleneck is the programmers.
