The 360 hasn't failed me yet THREAD.

[Slamman]

I got my three cents in there but Jazz locked it up as I was typing, so... with further pondering on a non or biased review of the tech specs, this rather well done reply came on the PS3 vs 360 tech comparison I linked to on that thread;

 

 

As for theoretical peak potential, it will never be reached on either system, it is also looking like the PS3 real world potential is going to be lower % of peak.

 

Being a mac user form the power pc era, I do know that if they work at it they can get very close to full use of theoretical processing power, the big problem is NIETHER console has enough ram to do it. The xbox 360 would need up to 4 gig of ram, and the ps3 twice that, look at theoretical bandwidth max you listed.

 

In either case, we have no idea right now which console has the higher real world performance wait 3 years to see this

 

Also a problem with splitting ram, when a cpu has to share ram from two different types it has to lean on the controller bus, this lowers bandwidth to that of the slowest part, so if the ps3 uses the slower ram for the cpu, the other ram will run at a slower clock. This is why real computers do not barrow ram form the graphics card, it slows every thing down.

 

So your conclusion there is wrong, if the cpu uses the slower ram, the xbox would at worst tie, simply because it is using less recourses to move data through to the cpu.

 

You can see here that the TC/OP had some information he later claimed was told to him by IBM engineers who worked on the Cell and 360's CPU as well, and there was much debate over the lack of RAM and the buses between the key RSX GPU and CPU and two types of RAM and how to calculate real world vs. theoretical performance. It goes well beyond the typical back and forth you read here when you dive into the technical makeup of each console and how a game developer can cater to one or the other or make one run best on a given system.

 

Link to that source, read around the various pages to get some of the better arguments

There are links on this forum to even more reports on the platforms so it's a good read overall

HEY MODERATORS:

 

If you're going to lock the Playstation 3 thread like this, why haven't you locked this one?

yeah thats what i said in a post here before its sh*t..

[josh995]

I find it funny how this thread is allowed to go 7 pages on, but the one for the Playstation 3 was locked on page one.

Are you a dumbass all the time, or just half the time?

 

Seems all the time. I didn't f*cking start that thread, and I happen to own both consoles.

 

So take your sh*t elsewhere.

 

If the Xbox 360 is allowed to have a thread dedicated to it, the Playstation 3 is entitled to the same right.

 

And, this is not a civilized thread, far from it, dumbass.

[Speedois]

Ok, well Ill do it then ....

 

I LOVE THE XBOX 360, OMG OMG OMG ITS AMAZING, I WANT TO MARRY IT AND DO THINGS TO ITS HARD DRIVE, ITS SOOOOO LOUD BUT I LOVE IT. PS3 sh*t ECT ECT ECT.

 

(Just for the sake of saying, thats sarcasm )

[Slamman]

Sure, lock it up, but where to have some healthy debate? I think I'll join the VGChartZ forum I guess Oh, I forgot, if this were in the computer section, let's say. ...or General discussion they MIGHT not lock it because it is not directly related to GTA4

My point exactly. Reporting you for instigating a flame war. You did not read what I said. The OTHER thread was locked because of flamming. And I never said your name. so stfu and gtfo if you are not going to contribute.

[Slamman]

And, how old are we today? That constitutes flaming, report the original post and be done with it

[R3VOLUTiON16]

Fanboy's = Discrace to the gameing world.

Does it matter any more? No I officially laugh in that threads face. Want a war? you got it. This thread might be locked but it will die knowing it out lasted the other sh*tty thread. I to have a pos3 and it phails.

 

Now you f*cks have something to flame about.

[Slamman]

There's an old saying we learned in school, you were to say to me "shutup",

I were then to respond to you, "I don't Shutup , I Grow up, and When I look at You I Throw up"

 

I'm 13 today, BTW
