IGN: First PS3 vs Xbox 360 Comparison

[makaveli87]

Alpha Kits of PS3 with 70% of final hardware while Xbox 360 beta kits with 70% of final hardware (at those times) until the beta kits of PS3 which are 120% of final hardware because the XDR Ram in final kits are 256 mb more than consumer kits?

id say its a fair comparison

PS3 beta kits are not 120% of final hard ware. They are 75% clock frequency of final and 6% bandwith. Even if the beta kit had 1024mb or ram, it would not matter because they simply would only program for what final hardware will have (512).

the PS3 final kits are 120% of the final hardware

Oh lord no. This will be thoroughly ripped apart, but I have to ask, what metric have you used to determine this completely random percentage? PEACE.

wow... onetimeposter..

anyways how do we not know this isn't a final xbox 360 dev kit running the game? The alphs kit is not even close to 70% of the total power of the ps3.

Sorry, but this is the dum**** claim I have ever read. Final Kits do always pack more ram, regardless of the console...
By the way, it is not because the Alpha-Kits's Cell exhibits a 2.4 GHz frequency that it represents 70% of the overall potential of the plateform. I am afraid it is a littel bit more complicated...

mp games are not the best to judge how far a console can run, but they do tell you how far two consoles compete.

Not unless they are coded separately, indipendent of each other, taking advantages of each specific console hardware.

From what i know by TGS the xbox 360 final kits were out,and short after E3 the beta ones were ship,i don't think is running on alpha kits.

actually this article showed the dev kits for the first time. what do you think they ran the Unreal 2007 real time demo and the Ubisoft realtime demo Killing day on E3 in May?

the current dev kits have 2.4 Ghz, a 7800 GTX card and 256 Mb XDR Ram. the final kits will have 3.2 Ghz, RSX, and 512 MB XDR Ram , thats how its 25% more powerful, doubling the XDR Ram

Meh, I read all posts in the thread, and not one of them said anything that was worth remembering for even five minutes. Sorry, but this is just forum noise.

looks to me like these two machines are going to be equal in overall ability.

I hope not

 

[Junkstyle]

the very tiny tiny respect for IGN is now completely gone. Shame on them for such an obvious troll and misleading comparison. This thread should be locked.

 

[Edge]

I looked at both videos, and the quality of both games look roughly the same. It will be interesting if the developer takes advantage of the respective power of each system to showoff differences. If they decide to make both games look the same as the lowest common denominator, how will this game be used to see which system is more powerful?

QFT!!!!

Retarded assumptions will only be built by fan boys.

The data are here...But I still don't get how you managed to obtain the 25% ? Am I the only one who did not make sense of the approach ?

 

[Nesh]

Saying that PS3's alpha kit is closer to the final than what 360's was to its final kit is ok.....But creating percentages from a few numbers available only like 2.4Ghz-3.2Ghz and 256-512MB?Thats irrational
The thing isnt made out of ram and CPU only and also you cant know for sure how much difference in performance a 3.2Ghz Cell will have compared to a 2.4Ghz

Rsx?

How about the fact that the vid being shown of the PS3 version was certainly earlier in development (shown 2 months prior to XBOX360 version) and also, on an alpha/beta dev kit with a slower cpu and (as most here are forgetting) lacking the power of RSX? The final XBOX360 dev kits have both the full speed triple core processor and the Xenos GPU.
