This was an interview with the Author of the book 'The Race For A New Game Machine' and engineer who works ended up on the PS3 and Xbox360.

But can Shippy's insight on both console's processors finally answer the age-old debate about which console is actually more powerful?

"I'm going to have to answer with an 'it depends,'" laughs Shippy, after a pause. "Again, they're completely different models. So in the PS3, you've got this Cell chip which has massive parallel processing power, the PowerPC core, multiple SPU cores… it's got a GPU that is, in the model here, processing more in the Cell chip and less in the GPU. So that's one processing paradigm -- a heterogeneous paradigm."

"With the Xbox 360, you've got more of a traditional multi-core system, and you've got three PowerPC cores, each of them having dual threads -- so you've got six threads running there, at least in the CPU. Six threads in Xbox 360, and eight or nine threads in the PS3 -- but then you've got to factor in the GPU," Shippy explains. "The GPU is highly sophisticated in the Xbox 360."

He concludes: "At the end of the day, when you put them all together, depending on the software, I think they're pretty equal, even though they're completely different processing models."

Like I said. Both give and take a little. Equals.

Repeat: iDenTiTy is King.

I have already posted this somewhere here on the forum a while ago ! good to see it again but try telling that to penguin then the arguments will start again that KZ2 is the greatest fps ever blablabla!

The greatest FPS to the gaming community is goldeneye and it will stay goldeneye for many years to come.

Perhaps it will drop the stigma that because the ps3 costs more, it doesnt mean its automatically better than the 360

Won't make a difference to the droids.

Year in and year out the PS3 loses out in the sales charts ... but their drivel continues :D
