Yes I HAVE STATED... SHOW ME A CPU/GPU COMBO THAT PERFORMS MORE THAN PS3's 1.8 TeraFlops... I promise I will take everything i've said back if you can show me this....

Or even prove that you can find a consumer available CPU that performs more than the Cell's 218 GFLOPS

The Core I7 performs 50 GFLOPs just for a minor comparison..

Your CPU talk is inaccurate, as I have not seen a CPU available yet that is more powerful.. even in 2010.. unless of course you show me a link to one, which I will gladly accept and admit that I am wrong. Show me this Circa 2002 chip lol that is more powerful, that is completely bogus.

And obviously yes the RSX GPU is definately rather old school, but we are measuring overall power, and the RSX was specifically built to be used with the cell, and the combo of both can produce unmatched power.

And on God of War you do make many good points about camera tricks and linearity making it easy to focus all on graphics.. Ill give you that.. but im still saying in the end.. I have not seen a game that looks better as of this date in 2010..

If the four-year-old Cell found in a $299 game console can outperform a $1000 Core i7, then why aren't people using the Cell for CPU-intensive tasks instead of the i7?

I think next time I make a PC ill just go get a PS3 and canibalize it to save me out a lot on my costs it seems.
