The most powerful console right now is the PS3? Shaddup, nobody knows
Sony’s marketing has sure got everyone blinded.
The Power of the PS3!!!
PS3 has a few more Horses than the 360!!!
The Cell Processor!!! RSX!!!
Its all Bull-ish. Who knows which system is more powerful other than the developers? And they arent going to tell us the truth. All we know is that we dont know what the hell a cell processor is. I can create something no one understands and say its better than everything else. And that is what Sony is doing with the PS3. They have the cell processor, no one knows what it is or what it does. Hell, people are still saying it has 7 cores verses the 360’s 3 cores. THEY ARE NOT CORES!!!!. There is one 3.2 ghz core in the PS3’s cell chip. And that may not even be true cause noone knows what the hell a cell processor is.
And the RSX chip… Can we say overclocked Geforce 7800?
NO WE CANT CAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE HELL A RSX IS!!
Even though it is just an overclocked Geforce 7800. What you all dont know is that the ATI GPU in the 360 and the RSX chip in the PS3 are about as equal as 2 video cards can get. Dont let Nvidia’s current dominance in PC video cards fool you. It was only about 2 years ago that ATI had the best video cards. Any difference you will see between the PS3 and the 360 right now are all developer differences, not hardware capability differences. Forget what you heard, neither the Xbox 360 nor the PS3 has been pushed to its limits. Most of the games this generation has been built with the 360 as lead skew, and pretty much has only used a single thread, which the 360 has 2 threads per core. Yea the other threads act as helper threads and sometimes are used to handle things like decompression etc but as far as actual game processing, I dont think there is a game yet to use more than 2 threads, with most so far just using 1. The PS3 is no different, there are 7 SPE controllers that are similiar to threads, but more specialized and the only game that actually utilize them correctly is Unreal Tournament 3. and that game doesnt even fully utilize all of the PS3’s power. Actually there may be a few more games that use it correctly but thats not the point. The point is the claim that the PS3 is the most powerful is really only a claim. And thats Bull-ish.
