where u been in the past year? because games like god of war 3, killzone 3, gran turismo 5, will complete say otherwise. also it depends also its software its optimize for it, of course windows will run better on x86-64 processor than cell emulating it. still OS with cell/powerpc support like linux outperform x86 processor with easy. and the same thing it can be said about games. running a core 2 duo p8600 ati 3470 (680mhz 40stream units very similar to xbox360gpu)on my notebook it doesn't perform as well as my ps3 on games like RE5, FIFA, SF4 that are also o pc
consoles OS are not as heavy as windows, code in games its optimize it perform better than best x86_64 cpus. |
First off, I haven't seen anything from God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5 or Killzone 3 to make me doubt that a comparable game could be made for the XBox 360.
Secondly, you’re looking at in game performance of a laptop vs. the PS3 and not even considering that the games might be bound by the low end (for a laptop, awful in general) GPU. Back in 2007 most benchmarks of PC games that were also on the PS3 and the High End Geforce 7 and Geforce 8 graphics cards when paired with a midrange or better CPU tended to play these games at higher detail, with higher resolution, and with a better frame-rate than the PS3 did. I have seen nothing to indicate that the real world performance of the PS3 has improved by 8 or 10 times, as would need to be the case for the Cell processor to be competitive with a i7.
The PS3 was a great piece of technology when it was released, but that was 4 years ago and semi-conductor technology has advanced a lot since then. Over the next year or two the PS3 is going to become similarly obsolete as the PS2 and Dreamcast were when the PS3 launched, and it will not look that impressive against even the cheapest console that can be built using modern technology.
