7800GTX 512 in SLI > XBox 360?

[BenSkywalker]

Learn your facts sir

On November 19, 2003, the DVD Forum decided with eight to six votes that the HD DVD will be the HDTV successor of the DVD. At this meeting they renamed it to HD DVD, while it had been previously called the "Advanced Optical Disc". Blu-ray Disc was developed outside of the DVD Forum, and was never submitted to the forum for consideration.

The current specification version for HD DVD-ROM and HD DVD-Rewritable is version 1.0. The specification for HD DVD-R is currently at 0.9. The first HD DVD-ROM drives were expected to be unveiled by Q4 2004, with mass production to start in Q1 2005.!!!!

Hmmm....

Toshiba, NEC working on new DVD format
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toshiba Corp and NEC Corp said on Monday they are planning a new format for next-generation digital versatile discs (DVDs) that would cut costs but be incompatible with a format proposed by Sony Corp and other industry giants. A Toshiba spokeswoman said the companies' planned standard for high-capacity blue-laser discs, which could hit the market as early as next year, was preferable because it would allow greater compatibility with existing red-laser discs.

Later in the article-

The other members of the Blu-ray consortium are Japan's Hitachi Ltd, Pioneer Corp and Sharp Corp, South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and LG Electronics Inc, Philips Electronics NV of the Netherlands, and France's Thomson Multimedia.

Knowing is half the battle.

Now which 'facts' am I supposed to be learning? As I stated- BluRay was first and was already an adopted standard by the industry. The DVD consortium was trying to escape their demise by voting against BluRay.

Awesome first post, bumping a 2-week old dead thread, and adding absolutely nothing intelligent to the discussion.

Oh, and welcome to Anandtech.

I dont know if anyone has said this yet.

The Xbox360s R500 GPU happens to be a predecessor to the R600, the R600 has been made for PC use, while the R500 was made for the console. But ultimately they share a lot of technology and architecture.

So if you think any form of 7800GTX upwards in SLI will beat the R600 which still happens to be coming out in the 3rd Quarter still, they are sorely mistaken.
