PS3 'near-final' hardware present at E3

Though Axsider comes across as a bit of a Nirey, what he says here isn't hard to believe. If PS3 dev kits have a 1:8 Cell, and XB360 kits have dual G5s, both on existing graphics chips, obviously PS3 will ahve the advantage performance wise. Honestly though, who on earth cares how powerful the dev kits are? It's the consoles we want to know about!

Polygons :? I thought it was all about shaders these days...
Last I heard the PS3 dev kits had 6800 cards in them.
The Xbox 360 has a graphics chip that has about 2x the shader performance of an X800 (which is a strength of the X800) and 10MB of eDRAM that is a big part in the free AA.
I have no problem accepting the PS3 will have a GPU that is faster (or at least on par), but mentioning polygons is so 1995 PS/N64/M2. And as far as I know, graphically, the PS3 dev kits do not offer more than the R500.
That is why they were told to aim higher, much higher, than SLI performance.

Actually, when asked how it was more powerful your responded:
"In raw power, polygons, etc.. "
Implying more than just "power" but a very specific area where it was more powerful. So, how do the dev kit GPUs have more Polygon power as you claim?
Axsider's background at GAF is spotty. For the most part, he's been nothing more than a somewhat zealous Sony fan until recent months when he suddenly popped up with connections about a number of things related to SCEA...friends at the company, apparently. Nobody's really challenged his rumors directly and his hints have been consistent in what they refer to. One thing that's clear is that he's pegged all his hints to E3, so we'll know one way or another in a matter of days.
Well, it's nice to visit american gaming-boards and talk with the gamers. I like that. Well, first I visited the so called GAF and I gave some hints ---> SONY conference. Well, they said I teased them and so ---> ban. 
Not logical but I do not care. Here I am again.
It makes really fun to talk with normal gamers

CPU involvement in graphics? Or a seperate eDram module ala X360 for AA etc.?
An unified shader architecture for the PS3 would make the most sense. I personaly don't think the PS3 GPU will be pixel shader only.

I agree, but I wasn't meaning to suggest a pixel-shader only. Just that the CPU may have some help to give for graphics - there is a lot of bandwidth there. Who knows though..

Well, he was just banned from GAF for rumormongering; supposedly he was banned once before under another name and really knows nothing at all.
We are not normal gamers on B3D. We are the supreme gamers. We are the gamers to rule all gamers. And really, we've had about our fill of industry insiders, whether legit or notAxsider said:
As I guess from what you've written, your 'insider' status will be verified when PlayStation 3 is announced as something other than PS3. That seems to be the only direct 'hint' if there is any.
And for those complaining about this Sony PR...well, viral marketting seems to be the next big thing. I myself am petitioning all three console manufacturers to offer me a job invading internet forums and spreading promotional material
