I don't think the extra ram would have any real benefits unless developers released patches for their games. If i recall correctly, even thought Sony managed to lower the PS3 OS' memory usage, games only have access to the amount of memory that was available at the time of the build. So even if...

25 Teraflops for the next Cell processor? You expect the next cell processor to be 125X faster than the current Cell processor in the Playstation 3? To give you a comparison, the PowerXCell 8I version used by IBM in their top of the line supercomputer doesn't reach 400 Gigaflops. You're...

Has anyone been able to confirm the contents of Rangers' link? I would love confirmation on the negative response to the Wii-style console. That is what worries me most... I will be a sad panda if Microsoft and Sony both take the Wii route...

Here are my predictions for the 8th generation. Granted, it's more of a wishlist than prediction. I see both companies easing on the CPU and focusing on a more powerful GPU. Xbox 720: Power7 based CPU 6 POWER7 cores 4 threads per core(24 total) 4Ghz ATI R800 based GPU 4GB GDDR4 unified memory...

That's a darn shame... The footage looked very good. Guess I'll have to wait even longer for new Alan Wake footage...

Someone claims the following video is from Alan Wake. Poster claims that it's Alan Wake in 1st person mode and will post 3rd person view later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BppEM0Q0nFw Remedy has denied it but I am not sure what else it could be. Does anyone know?

Didn't Microsoft initially go to IBM with plans for a chip which IBM simply couldn't deliver in time and eventually settled for the current Xenon? If so, when you combine that with the fact that Sony will probably have another powerful Cell processor, is it possible that Microsoft may try to...

I apologize if this has already been discussed, but is a POWER 7 chip likely for the next generation Xbox or is it simply too expensive? Early reports suggest that the chips may feature: 45 nm process 2 chips per module 8 cores per chip 4 threads per core (32 threads per chip) 4.0 GHz clock...

Given how much money they are losing on each console, I don't think Sony is too upset with PS3 hardware sales. It would be best for them if they waited until production costs went down then lowered the price to $299. However, I am sure they are extremely dissatisfied with their software sales...

These shots look amazing. I would love to see them at full resolution. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/nchoudhury/KZ2%20Multiplayer/13.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/nchoudhury/KZ2%20Multiplayer/9.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/nchoudhury/KZ2%20Multiplayer/12.jpg...

In your opinion, who had the best conference at E3? I was personally disappointed by all 3... I believe that Microsoft's FFXIII announcement was larger than all 3 conferences combined. Sadly, that doesn't say much...

Hmmm, I guess old receivers were used when testing TrueHD 7.1 over LPCM. That would explain the rumor.

I found an additional chart claiming that the Playstation 3 supports TrueHD 7.1 without converting it down to 5.1. I'd love to get a definite answer. EDIT: Didn't mean to double post

I know it can be outputed as LPCM, but is it outputed at 7.1 or downmixed to 5.1?
