If the PS3 were techincally inferior, then how would be able to perform at least as well as the 360?
But, if you want stats, here is a nice comparison: History of video game consoles (seventh generation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Note that the 360 is clocked at the same operating speed, but lacks the 7 cores the PS3 has (it only has three). Also note that it requires a buffer between the memory and GPU, whereas the PS3 can directly address it.
Last post for me on this, think I'm turning 12 again mine is faster than yours so on so on.
but if you talk cpu of the 2 systems (remember this is a games system)
The majority of game code is a mixture of integer, floating-point, and vector math, with lots of branches and random memory accesses. This code is best handled by a general purpose CPU with a cache, branch predictor, and vector unit.
The Cell's seven DSPs (what Sony calls SPEs) have no cache, no direct access to memory, no branch predictor, and a different instruction set from the PS3's main CPU. They are not designed for or efficient at general purpose computing. DSPs are not appropriate for game programming.
Xbox 360 has three general purpose CPU cores. The Cell processor has only one.
Thats it for me on this subject. Its more down to what games you like and if the game is exclusive to 360 or ps3
Both systems are fast and good at games (games system remember)
Who will win in the end? forget about the ps3 or 360 think more microsoft or sony what company will give up first. All down to money in the end
