| Epke said: without some links to proffesional benchmarking tests these comments have not much weight. the N64 had also more computing power than the PS2 but PS2 still outsould it, Sony did not took the lesson from that. Only what matters is the sales and the weakest in computing power has the most sales. |
We know that the PPE in the Cell is basically the same as a core in the X360 CPU, right (as stated by many professionals). From there, you can easily derive the performance of each SPE vs one X360 core at certain tasks.

We also have a developer's (from Heavenly Sword) input on this. He says that EACH SPE/SPU and run circles around a X360 core (XeCPU) on decently written code.
Of course, the people that don't want to believe the evidence won't.
