I can play a game on my XBOX 360 today.

The PS3 can't do that. 😉

 

[Noirish]

who cares.
ps3 will come out and beat xbox360 anyway.
xbox360 will never have a bigger (important) market in asia as ps3 will.

For those of you that don't know, the reason the PS3 is only using 7 SPe's is for redundancy, if one dies, there is one more to take it's place, it has nothing to do with manufacturing yield issues.

The ps3 uses 7 spes due to manufacturing issues. Who ever heard of a part of a cpu dieing and needing a replacement?

Servers have multiple physical CPUs in case of the unfortunate circumstance of one of the DYING. Having a redundant core isn't that far of a leap. 😛

You're right about servers and clusters can tolerate computers that die on them but no one I know of has made an processor that can tolerate a part of itself dieing.

I don't think it's the case for the PS3 either. I believe the company will fuse the chip to only use the 7 cores out of 8 that meet specifications and leave the eigth core unused. Once in the consumer's hands you will be stuck using those 7 cores forever and if of those working core dies the chip will die.

It would be pretty damn hard for a chip to keep self testing itself to figure out if any of the current cores are not working. Bad yield does not necessarily mean the whole core blew up and died. It could be that for some specific op codes the chip no longer meets timing due to transistor or RC degradation. However the main chip will have to keep exhaustively testing each core.

what is this Wii?

 

[Baked]

I sold my PS2... then bought a X360 a year later. I may or may not buy the PS3 when it comes out. I'm buying the systems based on the exclusive games they carry.

 

[everman]

I couldn't care less about how "powerful" a console is. It's all about games, and the games are not all about power and graphics.

 

[intogamer]

haha I guess MS didn't have to push the XBOX360 early

PS3 is over rated.

Oi... just because a game has cartoonish graphics doesn't mean it's for kids.

After all this talk about how powerful it is and how much better the cell is than everything, i rest my case with this article

here

You console gamers need to STFU.

:laugh: I very much agree.

u got quad sli?

if not u r so not 1337

yeah well i got octa-SLI 😉

Nintendo Rules... they have can have sh*tty hardware, but all the games are still the shiznit.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

After two systems in a row that were the slowest/least powerful of their respective generation, Sony fans finally have something to brag about - but of all people I think they should know it isn't the power of the system that counts, its the games...they've been playing with the worst system for, what, just over a decade now...

Its a big reason why I think Nintendo might actual regain some lost ground, while Sony has been distracted by Microsoft in a battle of hardware and ever inflating console prices, Nintendo is sticking to the affordable route and counting on the games to sell the system, not the hardware. Granted, powerful hardware = prettier games, and while you can't judge a book by its cover, prettier covers help sell more books...
