Hi,

On alt.games.video.sony-playstation2 there is a reference to an article which was suppose to be located at http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2461 - but it's gone.

I tried using the search feature on anandtech (also trying google, no luck) - but it seems this specific article disappear for some reason (or did it just get relocated?). How come?

The newsgroup message can be seen through google groups here:
http://groups.google.com/group...62ff83d96ea78ea9?hl=en

Same articles is referenced here:
http://www.xbox365.com/news.cgi?id=GGuddLGHdL06291446

In my search i located this article also about the xbox 360/ps3 hardware, but it's not the right one:

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2453
 
What was the title (not the HTML article name)? Did you search AT/google for the AT title of the article?

Likewise what was the context of the article (based on the discussion in which it was referenced)...did you search for Anandtech articles with keywords relevant of that context?
 
It looks like the article was pulled right after it was published. You'd have to contact someone who works on the site to find out why -- the AT forums are independent of the main website.
 
@Idontcare: I think the title was 'Microsoft's Xbox 360 & Sony's PlayStation 3 - Examples of Poor CPU Performance' - but i couldn't know for sure. And yeah i tried searching for it with appropriate keywords 🙂

Thank you for your answers!

Anand and Derek explained in that article how a P4 1.4GHZ was far more powerful then Cell. They also explained how going multi core was a bad choice and one that wouldn't pay dividends in the consoles' life cycle.

No, this isn't an issue of hindsight, everyone with any experience outside of x86 was in hysterics at the idiocy of the article, the reason it got pulled.

Ah, so a case of legacy preservation. Funny.
