I would say a X2 4800 is eleventy thousand times faster than the XB360 CPU. Just claims whatever you want till somebody can compare them with hard benches.
what does his decision has anything to do with the XB360 CPU?? He must think "wow the XB360 CPU is 6-10 times faster than any current desktop CPU, I better switch to XBox". I assume next year he'll switch platform to PS3 for the same reason. Maybe sooner or later he'll switch his lead platform to some kind of military super computer.
That's not "developers". That's someone speaking for them in general terms. For all I know, it could have been one or two developers that just aren't used to it or have been more into the PC market or something.
NOTHING says that they are weak. And this just shows how much you obviously don't know. The thing is that they CAN'T sell them that cheap, but they still do. It's not like video card makers, where they have to maintain a profit by having inflated prices (I assume it's that way); consoles lately have actually been worth more than they cost, making the companies LOSE money. They try to make that up in liscensing and games, etc.
LOL. We do? Unless you're on some insider track that nobody knows of, I highly doubt that is correct.
Oh come on, dude. There's always exceptions to the rule, that's why it's usually best to not say absolutes. The fact is, having the good spec is better than not. So it goes in its favor.
I thought it's well known that FLOPS number does not mean a whole lot (though not meaningless), let alone some THEORETICAL PEAK FLOPS by some marketing ppl. Maybe it's not as bad as saying my $5 160W speaker is 4 times better than my $100 40W speaker, but close.
Thanks for the recommendation (note spelling). It's been discussing CPU all along, so what is your point of throwing Carmack out suddenly? I think it's logical to assume you put it out as another supporting point that XBox CPU is faster. Maybe you need to retake Eng 101 instead. Oh and using clever words to try to put ppl down and put yourself up does not make you look better and more credible.
Links? For what? Are you that moronic that you need to read something off a website to believe it?
My feeling is why bring on FLOPS to compare performance of CPUs. It's like ppl don't use peak power rating to compare PSUs, and don't use peak output to compare speakers because they can be misleading.
this is another part i disagree with you. It's always others fault but never yours. When you state something and ppl misunderstood you then it's always a problem with their comprehensive skill. You know you are human too, don't you?! You know that's why I think you often try to put ppl down, whether intentionally or not. I'm not excluding myself either from doing the same either.
yeah thinking about if I should build a htpc or buy the 360 for the living room. But have to wait till I get a HDTV, and maybe wait for the new Nintendo coz i like Nitendo games. I can't own all the 3 new consoles coz never I'll have enough time to play games on those consoles plus my PC. Life is too short for games!
I understand we can speculate, much like we are all speculating about the R520 (hopefully until tomorrow). I have a problem when ppl use them to draw conclusion, like the other guy i responded claiming that XB360 CPU is 6-10 times faster as fact or conclusion. I think Anand realized he made the same mistake of hasty conclusion in the XB360 article maybe that's why he took it off.
that's cool, but realize that a lot of times we think we fully understand so we don't go ask for clarification on everything. It's not a huge problem, but we just need to realize and acknowledge it or else conversation will go down the drain and ppl start flaming all over the place. Heck a lot of arguments between my gf and I stem from this kind of misunderstanding.
Huh? What in the bloody hell is this dude talking about...
