Which ordinary CPUs might those be? Do you also belong to the "MGS4 has better graphics than Crysis" club?

 

Don't bother, MikeB favours hypothetical scenerios where the Cell processor breaks moore's law because in certain benchmarks it outperforms 8 year old PowerPC based processors 20 to 1. The fact that a PC can run the same game as the PS3, with higher quality textures, higher detailed models, at a (dramatically) higher resolution, and with 4 times the framerate will not make him concede that the PC is dramatically more powerful than the PS3.

 

Moore's law just regards the amount of chip transistors. It's not an exact scientific "law" and mass R&D could easily break this "law" or you can just make bigger chips.
