Xbox 3's CPU from a FLOPs perspective seems it may have as much as double the performance of "vanilla" Jaguar cores.

What a weird idea... So someone thinks that MS (a software company) just "knows" how to double the performance of the latest AMD tech. I'd think AMD knows better than MS on how to max out its own design... weird stuff.


AMD has a team working on the custom chip for the console, so I don't get the MS comment. Doubling the FLOPS performance of Jaguar isn't really a big deal as long as they don't mind increasing the size and power consumption of the chip. If they are using Jaguar as a base and don't need to worry about power consumption and transister counts as much as Jaguar is aimed at the mobile space, then adding a second FPU like they have on their higher end CPUs shouldn't be too much of a problem as the tech already exists.
