PS3 is Not More Powerful than Xbox 360, says game Dev!

This is the only part I have issues with.  If you rephrased that to say the following, I would be ok with it:

"We agree, also, that the PS3's Cell is not the best CPU for SOME CURRENT genernal purpose applications and mainstream Windows, because it lacks OOOe..."

"We agree, also, that the (ATI) Xenos Chip on the Xbox 360 is somehow better than the (Nvidia) RSX on the PS3, if the following conditions are met:

1. No tiling (that can cut the fillrate right in half)

2. Cell isn't making RSX more efficient and tiling isn't required on Xenos

3. If RSX and Xenos aren't running at max capacity"

 

Since all future applications will have to be written in a manner that works well on the Cell for future architectures (that WILL mimic Cell), it would be incorrect to say the Cell is not the best CPU for "general purpose applications".  It would be incorrect UNLESS you plan on calling FUTURE programs written for those FUTURE architectures NON-general purpose applications.

Do you see my point, now?

 

 

Yes! When I was saying " PS3's Cell is not the best CPU for genernal purpose applications and mainstream Windows, because it lacks OOOe...", I refer to the PS3 Cell Processor and not PowerCell8i or the next Gen Cell, which will be more suited to this kind of Apps.

Already the memory limit of 4 GB makes the PS3 Cell not suitable...

 

But I agree with you.
