http://news.com.com/2061-10791_3-6160790.html how massively underutilized the ps3 is at the moment......... 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

those BENCHMARKS are from IBM (makers of downgarded XENON) , Mercury Systems, MIT (world's no1 in engineering and computer science ) , University of California at berkeley( america's 7th best uni for computer science). do you think SONY would bribe those organizations for producing wrong benchmarks??? u are an illiterate who cant see the TAG "MIT"...........IBM, SONY could invent facts but why would MIT do such thing which ofocurse would tarnish their reputations otherwise.

you wd never buy a ps3 cause u are an x360 fanboy...........anyway read those BM.........they reveal the power of the CELL SUPERCOMPUTER

How can I be an XBox 360 fanboy when I have never owned an XBox or an XBox 360? The previous generation systems I own are a Dreamcast, PS2 and Gamecube; I also own a Wii and have a gaming PC. Also, I think it is important for you to use your "Big-Boy" words and actually write english. Edit Below: It's also obvious that you don't understand what the benchmarks were saying ... The benchmarks were of a Fast Fourier Transform, something which has no use in-game. The reality is that a FFT can be run far faster on a modern GPU than on an x86 CPU, but (in general) for most processing needs an x86 based processor will destroy your GPU.

in foru i dont need to write proper english as long as my post is barely comprehensible. I dont need to use "technical terms" since this is not my engineering class.

but what can they do with all this power?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

amazing physics, amazing GI, amazing TRE, amazing HDR , amazing AI......................................................these are what you could do with that power. Use CELL as a raycaster and raytracer...........as a GPU in terms of SPU allocation........................thats what you could do. i paid 600$ and i want to be delighted not just satisfied>>>>>>>>:)

FFT, TRE, CRYPTOGRAPHY STENCIL ,LINEAR MULTIPLICATIONS, RAYCASTING , RAYTRACING are heavy computational tasks..................................If cell could excel there then how would it perform in low computational tasks like AI, GI, HDR.
