It's amazing how effective Sony's "PS3 power" PR has been.

^I'm running an i7 processor. there's no way that a 3 year old thing can be faster than something produced this year. ask a real tech person to get the details.

it really looks like a lot of people bought Sony's PR..

The cell is built differently. Your cpu is a general purpose one while the cell is not. Your cpu may well not be as good as the cell. I'm not saying it isn't but it may well not be.

 

It might just be you who are too sceptic :p or would like to think  better of that which you've spent a small fortune on.

On what are you basing this?  Have you seen benchmarks for performance of the cell versus newer Intel/AMD processors?  OR are you simply going off the numbers that Sony has provided in the past?

On topic, I would say that yes, Sony's marketing folk are masters at overselling the power of thier products.
