Have you worked on a console system before? How do you know this? So he worked on a console system? I'd like to know where you're getting this information from.

Why in the world would I believe IBM? It would be in IBM's interest to destroy any of AnandTech's claims. AnandTech has nothing to gain out of this. Well besides hits. What company would tell you that thier product isn't 10X faster then any PC today? You think Microsoft is going to tell...

Woops the forums are acting funny today.

Don't know about you but bigger engines always means more horsepower. Smaller engines get more power from turbos or superchargers that compress the air so the fuel would burn. You get a V10 engine from a Viper and add a turbo then no small engine will ever catch it. Cars work on the...

The emulator CXBX emulates the Xbox on the PC at full speed using a Pentium 3 at 800 Mhz and a Geforce 3 or higher graphics card. The PS2 isn't emulated yet at full speed. Mind you that Sony and Microsoft have all the documentation that is known about their console systems. Where the free...

When the PS3 is out is there anyway to benchmark this? Of course the answer is no. Only developers and Sony know the limitations of the PS3. So for the Cell to be the next best thing since sliced bread is extreme. Especially considering how Sony exaggerated the PS2 hardware. So why...

I personally believe that the Ultra Quality setting in Doom 3 is only there to keep people thinking that they need new video cards. The Ultra Quality setting is just not using any compressed textures. Realistically all games use some form of texture compressing. If ATI or Nvidia did...

I can't wait for X600 video cards with 512 megs of memory. It'll be twice as fast as a Radeon 9600 XT 256 megs. :roll: Why would anyone be exited over more memory on a video card? I still see people who rate video card performance based on how much memory it has. Which is a huge...

I'm pretty sure that Nvidia is on Microsofts sh*t list after Xbox. This is probably the reason why ATI is working with Microsoft on Xbox2. Nvidia has tried to influence Microsoft before and it didn't end well. This is probably how Nvidia never got DX9 the way they wanted it. Now I...

So far I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me the specs of the Nintendo DS. I've heard that it has a 66 Mhz ARM9 and a 33 Mhz ARM7. How is this compared to the S60 phones with a ARM9 104 Mhz?

Theres a reason why the ARM is set at a certain clock speed. It has something to do with the phone. So overclocking is not a good idea.

I remember reading that the ARM9 chips have some PowerVR technology in them to do simple 3D rendering. Been hearing a lot about the Nintendo DS but I haven't heard the specs of it. Anyone have any thoughts about the DS vs N-gage/S60 hardware? Other than the dual screens and one touch...

My N-Gage only got 485 as a score. Does anyone have any details of the ARM9 CPU and or any other hardware that runs in these phones?

What I don't get is why does the Xbox2 need 3 PowerPC G5 processors? It's as if Microsoft plans to emulate the P3 733 CPU for backwards compatibility. That is if the lastest rumor says that the Xbox2 is going to have 3 G5 chips.

Why would you need 512 MB video cards? I can think of a few good reasons why not to release 512 MB cards. 1. No body buys $500 256 MB video cards. Therefore nobody is going to buy $600 or $700 512 MB video cards. 2. Most games don't even really need 256 MB. You would need FarCry...
