You sound like a complete fucking retard. I know my way around gaming and PC hardware.
You evidently have NO grasp of the technical specifications and have read into the pompus Sony bullshit about the machine having a floating point peak performance of 2 Teraflops.
It' s bullshit.
The 7 available SPE' s (the eighth is reserved and it' s not SPU) can only do single calculations with very simple data. They' re directly attatched to the PPE and so are clocked accordingly, but that doesn' t mean that you multiply 7 by 3.2GHz and add the cores 3.2GHz to get 25.6GHz! That isn' t how it works.
CELL only has slight advantages over Xenon in that Xenon has 3 general purpose cores (they do most of the work) and CELL only has one. CELL can calculate things slightly quicker by giving simple tasks to the SPE' s and letting the PPE handle the big data loads but it' s only a minimal difference.
As for the GPU. The custom built card in 360 is based on technology that isn' t even on the market yet. Microsot paid a shitload of money and even had it built to thier requirements so that it interfaces perfectly with XNA and DX10. RSX on the other hand is a slightly modified retail card and Sony picked it up in a " how many can we get for £x" fashion. 360 has a sizable GPU advantage.
Sony fucked up their memory allocation by giving the CPU and GPU 256Mb respectively that could be split any way other than all, half or nothing. RSX can render the entire 512 but it can' t just take what it needs, it has to take all of it or nothing. Microsoft made it so they had 512 that could be shared between the 2 as the developer required. So if a dev needs an extra 13Mb then it can take 13Mb.
mem 512 mb each but sonys are faster...
That' s a fucking lie. Not even Sony are claiming that!
As it stands, 360 has an additional 10Mb of extremely fast eDRAM which is specifically used for things like anti-aliasing and takes a ton of work off the GPU.
360 has more bandwidth too which is very important, and if you couple that with a faster drive (since PS3 will ship with 2x or maybe 4x) and you have fater loading times.
So for you to cliam that i' m drunk or just making things up is daft because you' re only making yourself look like a plank!
