dude here it is in pictures so you can count the threads, SMT not hyperthreading.... there would be no reason to split the L1 cache if they were not running simultaneously.
Your just spreading misinformation...

dude IBM the makers of the cores of both the Cell and Xenon specifically say they run simultaneously, As the article provided states. I know its not a true doubling of processing performance, still the threads run simultaneous.
(SMT) stands for simultaneous multithreading, which gives the Xenon 6 threads dude. I give you fact and source to back it and you disagree me ...harsh dude, harsh. Fine.. Don't take my word for it ...

Actually Xenon cores are slightly modified versions of the PPE in the Cell processor which was designed specifically for the PlayStation 3. Each core has two symmetric hardware threads (SMT), for a total of six hardware threads available to games
6 threads , not 3. Though when you have a PPE multi threading its not a true doubling of performance.

The cell is One Core that runs 2 threads of code plus 8 SPE's still faster then the 360's Xenon but runs differently.
Cell: http://www.ibm.com/develope... 1 Core PPU/PPE 8 SPE
Xenon: http://www.csh.rit.edu/~ogu... 3 Core
1 Core PPU/PPE 8 SPE > 3 Cor...
A core and an SPE is not one in the same. The cell is 1 multi-thread core/PPE with 8 SPE's/co-processors. Sure Cell > Xenon but they work in different ways, the cell is not an 8 core cpu.
The xenon could potentially run 6 threads of code simultaneously vs the cell running 9 since 1 spe is X'd out redundant. The SPE's are not logic processors they process stupid fast what is fed to them by the PPE. Still the 3 multi thread cores of the xenon could not keep pace with the Cell/P...
indeed.
as an American PS3 is how I role, 360 is an embarrasment. Failed on me and buds way to much.
coming , either way MS is screwed there now.IMO
The guy is the Hip Hop Gamer ....that should be a clue that his outlook on games is not going to be delivered emphasizing grammar (though I have no problem reading his articles)... I think a lot of people should step back and think for a second when getting irate over HHG articles.
No where does it say you have to write an article or news devoid of your personality, he wears a WWF Championship Belt to game shows while he interviews devs many gamers never seen in person... He is f...
That depends on what the criteria for "Top" is. Some consoles where not even supported as long as the current ones have been out, It's not hard to gauge they're standing at this point depending on the criteria IMO.
holy...
Well wherever they put PS1 or PS2 my 60GB takes those roles now in my gaming room ...so, it gets that spot in my eyes. :D
-.0 this is a facepalm moment if I ever saw one. Where in the bleep do you think Sony is going Sox? ...
PS3 was not the first console to have a browser Kaped but I hear you. Dreamcast had one.
The worst part is they had a temptress deliver such harsh opinion.
I got the PS boxers for christmas last year. Those Atari ones are looking good.
if your wuss , you don't want this game it has a creepy vibe to it your heart will break. Been playing the Asian copy for some time and its no walk in the park but fun and creepy as hell. Then again you can always go at it co op but thats wussss to do so the first run IMO unless your going at it with a bud who also is noob.
playing games with a glove is so 1989
So they are saying the failure rate of the console for the first 2 years is at 23.7%, They also say the # could be higher due to not everyone going through them which I would imagine is a considerable #, I didn't go through them.
I would hope the consoles would last longer then 2 years, whats the failure rate if were talking 0 to 3 years the percantage probably would be 33% and overall it still could be around 50%
every single 360 I had failed that is a 100% had 3. T...
This is shocking it's like they know who I am , and gave out my info ...I feel so nekkid to the world.
Lol I never said that, what I did say was that the xenon runs 6 simultaneous threads and the cell does not have 8 cores , which is true according to the makers of both the cell and the xenon. It's plain as day in the last link provided.
