Playstation 3's CELL is 4.6 GHz and is running is labs

Here


I call BS

I call bullshiot. I mean seriously. These things will cost so much. You could slack off with 1 3.5+ghz cpu and just spend the rest of the money on RAM and a banging video card. I mean check out current xbox games such as Ninja Gaiden, Halo 2, etc. They are running on 700mhz and gforce 3 ultra. Also look at Resident Evil 4 and games on Gamecube. The gfx are sick.


As someone stated in that thread, games use the cpu for AI and i think one 3.5+ or hell a 2.0ghz cpu and a banging gpu could handle all future games

Well obviously you know more than Sony in these matters... too bad they didn't listen to you when they developed the PS2 or it might have done a little better.

why did you post the same damn thing there and here? General Hardware gets plenty of traffic.

Sony spewed so much BS about the PS2 that I will wait until I have a PS3 before I believe anything they tell me about it.

 

[Tremulant]

I think the Xbox2 supposedly having 3x 3.5Ghz is more overkill than the PS3 having a 4.6.

And I point you here

Date: August 28th, 2001

If you weren't too impressed by the Pentium 4 2.0GHz launch yesterday, then today's demo of a 0.13-micron Northwood Pentium 4 processor running at 3.5GHz should pique your interest.

3 years ago.
We just hit 3.6GHz with a new processor.

Later today Intel will be showing off an air-cooled 4GHz double pumped ALU (effectively 8GHz) from a future Intel processor. The interesting thing about this demo is that it will be a 32-bit ALU that's being shown off?

And something here?

At Fall IDF 2001 we mentioned a 5GHz, 32-bit ALU that Intel was demonstrating. That accomplishment came courtesy of the Intel Labs.

Do I believe they have a Cell processor running at 4.5GHz? Maybe.
Do I believe this product will be used in the PS3? Doubtful.

It's called rumours....

When PS2 was getting near the specs release, several accredited sources said the PS2 would be 256 bits with a 400Mhz processer.

Welcome to the world of hype.

Yeah, really. You obviously knew this was a repost since you replied to the thread that already exists in General Hardware

See but the thing is that consoles unlike computers dont need ultra specs. Games are more tweaked and designed specifiacally for them unlike pc games that are developed with 100 different machines in mind. Games can look a hellava lot better on a console (minus resolution and textures unless in hdtv) because of this. Seriosuly, put like ninja gaiden on a pc today and see how it runs, then put it on a hdtv. You will need a badass video card to run it in high res. How about aplinter cell. Remembr when that came to pc

Don't make this into a flame war. We all know what you are talking about. The PS3 will not be here soon. Everythgin is just rumours now. Live with it.

Sony generally has a much more powerful CPU than GPU. The Emotion Engine in the PS2 is the most powerful CPU out of the current generation.

Doom3 on PC >>>> Doom3 on XBox

Well my modded Xbox with 1.4 ghz cpu and added ram will make Doom 3 look better!!!!!!




J/K... People who actually bought into that junk are idiots
