Is 360 or PS3 more powerful? Let's settle this with specs

The PS3's got all those SPEs, so technicaly it's got the flops per second advantage. I dont know much about graphics, but I will say that it's extremely difficult to use all those SPE's effectively. I should know, I'm working on an open source parallel sorting algorithm, and realistically when you're working on 8 cores you're only getting 5-6 times the speed up.

I think as developers learn to parallelize their code better, we'll see better results on the PS3, although it's split CPU-GPU memory is still a bottleneck. Essentially I think what it boils down to is, the PS3 can handle more polygons, surfaces, physics, whatever, but has a glass ceiling in terms of textures.

Basically, this means that the graphics do have somewhat of a limit right now, but by having more polygons, you can have more on display, also meaning more can happen at the same time. I doubt the 360 could show as much, or display or load a map as big or fast as the PS3 can. I love both consoles, but that's just what I see in them.
