That article just said what was ATi's claims, namely that the Xenos is better. It did not claim it to be more powerful in terms of raw performance, as of course the RSX can do more shader ops per second. The core of why ATi says the Xenos is better is because it's more flexible. But of course the Cell's SPUs are even more flexible with regard to additional graphics operations.

We have seen some horrible write-ups from XBox fanboys over the years on the PS3 hardware, if any of those were true we wouldn't have games like Uncharted 2 on the PS3 today.

You are such a spreader of FUD, MikeB.  The Xenos is better than the RSX in all but like 2 out of 10 categories.  If you had 2 Xbox 360s, one with the RSX and one with Xenos, the Xenos one would see much better graphics performance.

And Mike, why do you keep ignoring those quotes from people saying how the PS3 was originally going to use 2 Cells (1 for CPU and 1 for GPU) but at the last minute realized that wouldn't cut it, so they bought the 7800 from nVidia?
