Hows that?

GPU are optimized for folding@home though, especially since its rendering protein etc etc.

and the i7 / 360 its under CPU =P.

@ u don't have to damage control every ps3 thread!, its not a CPU info.

and gpu have nothing to do with it.

"According to the announcement of Fixstars reached the Cell processor of the Playstation a performance of 29 FPS, that is 1.2 times real-time conversion - the cell has a similar performance as the CUDA Badaboom encoder in combination with an Nvidia Geforce GTX-285. By comparison, Intel's current top-CPU, the Core i7 965 XE, does it still at 18 FPS - normal desktop CPUs even create only about 5 FPS."

According to the OP.
