[b]PS3 Specifications (So far):

- PowerPC-based Core @ 3.2GHz
Now Intel processors have at least 1MB cache = SLOW!
- 7 SPEs (Synergistic Processing Elements) @ 3.2GHz
- 512KB L2 Cache
GDDR3's increased performace over GDDR2, GDDR is ignorable. So small percentage, just like DDR2 vs DDR
- 7 x 256KB SRAM for SPEs
NVIDIA GPU code name RSX
- 550 Mhz Core Speed
- 256MB Dedicated GDDR3 RAM @ 700 Mhz (Able to use more RAM from System)
System RAM 256MB
The only good thing here is the Blu-Ray.

Since Micro$oft is releasing XBOX360 so much earlier, many people will go for them -- moreover Christmas coming, holidays, people will $buy$!
hha no offence but r u trying to imply that the smaller the better?? lol then ur com suxs coz ur com is much MUCH bigger than xbox 360 and PS3 lolOriginally posted by Alfresco coffeeshop:Philia is just another f the blind PS2 fanboi . look at their dimensins. Is xbox360 smaller than PS3?
Dimensions
Ps3 13.5" x 3.25"
Xbox 360 10.25" x 2.5"
Originally posted by targa2:From what u wrote, it seems like the XBox360's GPU is a totally custom unit. Therefore, the costs of XBox360 should be a lot more expensive? If so, then XBox 360 supporters should buy their consoles fast before the prices rise?
the GPU used by X360 is a revolutionary new technology not found in any production unit today. It uses a cutting edge merged pixel and shader pipeline and is theoretically, is able to have twice the yield over a card of similar speed.
What this means to us is that X360 GPU has twice the theoretical power of PS3 GPU.
in this case xbox 360 is actually a $2000 mac squeezed into a small boxOriginally posted by targa2:Smaller equates to better ergonomics and design. Console is not a computer, you can't put it in relativity. Console is something you place in the living room for all to view, therefore, ergonomics and design is a must.
ATi spent more time on the GPU. Moreover the GPU in XBOX360 is more powerful than R520, and R520 loses to 7800GTX 512mb so you cannot make a real comparison yet.Originally posted by abao:But i think the PS3 nVIDIA GPU will win over ATi GPU
Coz the current nVIDIA Graphic Card, GeForce 7800 GT has a very good performance, so i think the PS3 should have GPU of comparable quality.
Also, i prefer nVIDIA (sorry that im might be bias)
Suan people also don't need to suan so badly.Originally posted by targa2:Also, i cannot believe that so many of you were like "OMFG!! PS3 BLUETOOTHH!!!111". X360 uses a wireless technology similar to 802.1x which is so much better than bluetooth.
Main difference between Bluetooth and 802.1x, is that many devices can simultaneously connect to a 802.1x device whereas only ONE device can connect to a bluetooth device at any time.
I have no idea why Sony chose bluetooth because honestly, this is like the most retarded decision.
What it means to you: On a PS3, 2 or more ppl cannot be pressing a button at any one time. X360 on the other hand, you can button mash all you want without conflict.
EDIT: It seems that some of you arnt even aware that X360 used WIRELESS too.
Why swoop so low if you cannot fight back? I side 360. Read.Originally posted by targa2:Also. the guy launt pc up there is a complete idiot.
Whatever Microsoft says, you don't take it at face value. Always, +/- 2 years to it. Windows Longhorn.Originally posted by targa2:Whatever Ken Kutaragi said, you dont take it at face value. Always, +/- one year to it.
Dual Core processors only recently reached the consumer market, and moreover it will push the price up, and it will need a special motherboard for it...Originally posted by abao:Actually, i have questions to both Sony and Mircosoft.
Why dont you use Dual-Core Processors in the console.
And why not use AMD's processors? I thought the are better in gaming - what the consoles does most.![]()
