you sure frequent interesting websites (the link definately is NSFW)

Ahahahahaha XD XD XD XD

I can't wait for how people who never went on Sakaku Complex react.

This video is on several news sites, please pick one that doesn't have hentai all over it.

The article goes on to state that it shows being faster in some areas also. They also noted that it can be due to the HD, Firmware, as well as other factors. Not really a big issue considering it could be any number of things.

If you are trying to make a decision on going for a slim or not, why not just try to find a new Phat, or keep the one you have (if you have one). A Phat is better built, looks better, already proven tech, than the cheaper plastic slim anyway.

well as stated in many of my posts generally when shrinking a PPC die you run into many problems, and the chip normally ends up running faster unexpectedly (even outside of any predicted), IBM tried this time to keep it clock per clock the same (10-20% improvement on the same design not unusual). this means they actually slowed down the die shrunk chip while working on it, this was to maintain how games ran on the PS3. no doubt this was hard to do, and could cause irregularities in certain functions. when they tried to control this in early generation IBM PPC chips make power2-3 run at specified clocks, they inadvertently caused the first batches to run 50 mhz slower (this is back when 450mhz would have been the fastest cpu on the market )

It looked like Batman loaded faster on the Slim. Is this some strange world where faster is slower?

Start up seems slower, games load up a little faster. Overall difference?? Too little for anyone to give a shit.
