Based on power, of course, read my post again. I'm not talking about efficiency or ease of programming or whatever. Actually even a 45-32 nm top Intel CPU couldn't match the CBE in raw number crunching alone (single precision floating points) just a few years ago, that's why so many PS3s where used for general purpose cluster computing. Until this generation console CPUs excelled in that sort of thing, they actually behave much like modern GPUs. That will probably chance so I suspect the Wii U CPU will end up behind even the X360 CPU based on the same "numbers for boasting" criteria. The Xenon had a pretty high clock and the same instruction set as the CBE and PowerPCs launched since then didn't it. |
Oh you meant that way. In raw number crunching Cell definitely has a edge and that way it's more ''powerful'' as the whole architecture is aimed to have maximum number crunching power. I thought you meant more powerful when it comes to gaming performance.
