PS3: Lopsided and inefficient

[Diesel2]

I know someone
at ObiOneSoft
and she said that
PS3 > Xbox360 at physics
You see, if I have 3 slices of bread
and put them in a toaster
On Xbox360 they come out as toast
But on PS3, they don't come
out as toast. They come out as dried bread
It will look like toast, taste like toast
But the Xbox360 toast > PS3 dried bread.

All the GPU did for the Cell was add to it's graphical might. It was a bandaid that didn't remedy the general calculations problems. But since the Cell was deved as a self contained unit and not a CPU only, therein lies the problem.

The other thing people are talking about using the SPE array for is for hardware physics acceleration. If that pans out, it should have a nice size edge over X360 in processing power. Which is why Im not sure why she thinks X360 > PS3 at handling physics.

OpaOpa,

Something you might want to keep in mind: the PS2 was the least powerful and hardest to code-for system this gen, and it beat the competition by 4:1.

Regardless of whether or not it is general purpose or graphics focussed, it won't impact sales of the machine, especially if it has good games.

Assuming they're aiming for another 100,000,000 sales, I don't think any more than 0.1% of that market (if that) could even tell you which machine had a better internal design with less bottlenecks. And less than that care when they want to enjoy their games!

Anyway, back to it !

3 billion dollars? One huge demotion? Where did the 3 billion dollars come from? And the demotion will only help the PS3 not hurt it.

the amount spent on R&D for CELL.

We all know "acceleration" is a bunked term for "it can't do it, so it's going to fake it by trading in a sizable performance loss for functio(X)"

Why does the X360 have a GPU again?

This thread needs to be locked...lol..it will only bring up some pointless argument. I can't believe this thread survived two pages long.

not that I want to be seen siding with Opa but .....that's still a pretty BIG if.

azel2k1: so they[Sony] got a CPU that processes Graphics and General Code at the same time
smapty: and a GPU that graphics only
smapty: Where as Xenon
smapty: a CPU that does ONLY code
smapty: and a GPU that does only graphics
smapty: so they dont need to fight with each other over code needed for like Audio, AI, Physics
smapty: But unlike CELL/RSX
smapty: The Xenos in X360 can also help the CPU, Xenon, in running some general code as well
smapty: the efficiency in this is
smapty: Un-used CPU/GPU time in X360
smapty: can be used for other things
smapty: to accelerate other functions


smapty: While on PS3
smapty: if they maxed out one spot of their code
smapty: and the other processor is doing something else idle
smapty: then it doesnt get used to help other functions
smapty: that is why ATi says that X360 can reach 100% efficiency
smapty: where as PS3 would reach like 70%
smapty: X360 is built for the components to Help Each other
smapty: not fight with each other for code
smapty: If the CPU got bottled necked on Physics code
smapty: the CPU can help
smapty: but in PS3
smapty: it will just sit idle

Hey guys. Ep = Ek, 9.81 x mass is Force Newtons due to Earth Gravity.

And it didn't even take me 3.2 gigahertz to realize it.

If I had Ubi's phone number, I would let them know it too.

Opa opa, you are extremely wrong in your views. Stop spreading spam on the forum without actually backing up your claims.

You have just shown that you are a troll. Any more threads like this and you will be banned.
