games use just 10% of ps3's power + CELL benchmarks

But i am sure the new RAPIDMIND SDK would change things for sure. IBM themselves have termed the CELL as a minimum of 10x as powerful as the most powerful pc processor in the market. the claim has now been backed by MIT which says ps3 is a minimum 16x more powerful than any duel-core processor in the market (note without optimizers) http://cag.csail.mit.edu/ps3/lectures.shtml http://cag.csail.mit.edu/crg/papers/eichenberger05cell.pdf with proper optimizers i guess ps3 is atleast 100x as powerful as XENON.............i am looking forward to MIT and RAPIDMIND for a performance boost of the most poerful supercomputer of the late nineties http://www.mc.com/literature/literature_files/Cell-Perf-Simple.pdf http://www.mc.com/literature/literature_files/CellPerfAndProg-3Nov06.pdf http://www.cell-processor.net/news.php?extend.54 http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~samw/projects/cell/EDGE06_abstract.pdf http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~samw/projects/cell/LBLTalk.pdf http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/power/library/pa-cellperf/ http://news.com.com/2061-10791_3-6160790.html Seriously, how much is Sony paying you? Because they should pay you less because with how annoying you are I'm less likely to buy a PS3 I agree... And please washimul, I have asked you again and again in my posts to you: 1, Do not use CAPS. 2, Please do not use things like !!!! ........ The reason for this is that you look like a 12 year old idiot trying to scream to the world how cool you are. For the benschmarks: PS2 had better numbers than the Cube and the Xbox, still it actuly was the system with least power when it come to show. Benschmarks doesn't mean anything if you can't use it! So far I haven't seen a single video which shows that the PS3 is more powerfull than Xbox360. I might belive this numbers when any game is shown that makes me see this. So far they haven't shown anything. Then I have to ask you one thing: Is it so important that the PS3 is the most powerfull system when you buy it? Did you buy a Xbox also? Or are you just a member of Sony defense force trying to justife a 600$ consol when the competition has a consol for 400$ Which looks as good as the PS3 for the moment? again trash talk???????? CELL is not a simple architecture like normal pc cores /quad cores/ xenon. pcs would take atleast 5 years to reach CELL's performance. INTEL's 80 core in 2010 would do 1 TF .......but it still has no plans to produce that simulated PROCESSOR. Intel /amd has no response to CELL............simply everything is finish for them. i wouldnt be surprised if cell for ps4 comes equipped with 1000 spes and 100 ppes.

In what way did I post trash talk? I said that the PS2 had very good numbers from benschmarks, better than the xbox and my cube, but honestly. If the PS2 were so much better why was it a need to make the ps2 version of RE4 worse than the Cube version? So I just said that benshmarks doesn't mean a sh*t. It is all about how you use it. I do belive that the PS3 is a mighty powerfull consol, but does it matter when it is very hard to program and most important does it matter when the game library isn't very large? I am into consols for the games not the hardware! Then I asked if you always buy the most powerfull consol? Do you (because you didn't answer the question, but you never do so I don't know why I answer you)? I agree that the cell is an intresting new CPU structure, but to state that intel and amd is f***ed because of it is a little bit silly. I can't see how microsoft would place it main product (windows) on PPC, when even apple have left the ship. So no Cell might sell well in upcoming products, but intel and amd wont be that much affected. There has been a number of good CPUs that could have beaten the mighty x86, which honestly isn't that good, but they have lacked software.
