By boosting the GPU with Cell (uncharted 2, killzone 2, GOW3) Very special things can happen... Unfortunately only 3 companies have really stepped out of their comfort zone to develop an engine utilizing the cell properly..
While a PC will always be a bigger beast of a machine, ps3 still has a lot of life in it... xbox... not so much in my opinion. |
actually if you look at official numbers for the top of the line CELL (better than the PS3 CELL especially at double precision) you would see that it is capable of 102.4 GFLOPS double precision the top of the line i7s can do 107.55 GFLOPS (Intel Core i7 980 XE) in double precision calculations, so the CELL isn't actually on top any more.
and for CPUs floating points aren't that important anyway where they are important is GPUs and modern GPUs offer over 250 GFLOPS double precision and will only get better as GPU designers focus more on double precision.
