Odium, i have dropped my psp off my desk and hits hit the floor and my UMD has remained in there and worked fine. My PSP takes a battering round the office and its perfect? I see no problems and i have a Jap one

why, the pics look fake and the spec is shit next to the xbox even with it's cell CPU, doesn't look like it can stand up to it.

The specs are shit
The whople thing behind the CELL CPU is that there are
more than one of them. Think that thing in Terminator 2
if you will. It will have 4 - 8 small 500 - 600 MHZ processors

Then your lucky. You know wht the difference is? About 1mm off a button. Something crazy like that, thats stopped the PSP being launched in the UK for so long.

I'm not saying you will run into these problems, just that you could. And its ab ig problem, sony lost a lot of money on US sales from faulty PSPs.

Assuming you mean the first pics.. i think the design is pretty slick and i like the front hatchet, but yea, its probably fake db... but if it wasent i wouldent mind it looking like that.
The controler looks like a cross between dreamcast and xbox now though..

i know what a CELL CPU is fool

Yes but, like the x-box, if its not using one of them it doesn't just "add it to the power" of another instruction, it sits dormant until its needed.

i heard it at shacknews first

Maybe Duke Nukem forever will come out on 360 >)

The cell is a lot faster than the 360 CPU. 256 GFlop vs. 45 GFlop

The 1 TFlop MS claims to achieve on the XBox is a theoretical value which can only be reached if CPU _AND_ GPU work at full capacity, at full efficiency. It's a pretty outrageous lie, really.

The PS3 will be faster than the XBox 360, but I guess the 360 will have better (more popular) games.

I thought the big thing with cell is that it would use a broadband connection to use other ps3's cells to spread the workload or soemthing.
At least that was the info put out a long time ago.

Yeah, but nobody's talking about that anymore. Sony obviously realized that TVs and toasters simply don't need that much power.

The CELL is powerful enough as it is, with 8 vector cores in addition to a PowerPC core.

woot q4 will be at e3, can't wait. :up

Wtf 32k of level 1 cache? Most desktops already have 128k.

The XBox has 64 MB of RAM. Try playing Halo on a PC with 64 MB of RAM.

See what might be going on here?

Wether its fake or not, you all need to shut the fuck up. God damned morons.

All of you guys speculating on console performance or success based on technical details need to go out and read something.

Its been proven time and time again that hardware capabilities of consoles have little to no effect on its success. (Specially since its up to the developers to use an architecture's full potential)

Let's not forget that the playstation 1 was far more succesful than the N64. Even though the PS1 was clearly "underpowered".

It is a well known fact that any and all companies having anything to do with computer architecture will use buzzwords and numbers to sway the competition to one side. (Risc vs CISC computers, AMD vs Intel, Sony vs Nintendo, Sega vs Nintendo).

So you all need to shut the fuck up and stop sounding like complete and utter idiots. I expect better from this bulletin board. A bigger number does not mean "better". I can design a CPU that does nothing more than add and have it running at 10000GHZ.

Educate yourselves before sounding like idiots. The only way to trully see which company will succeed include: Number of developers supporting it, quality of games, Price(economics), and availability.

i think duffman is upset.

Just seemed odd to have 512k of level 2 and then only 32k of level 1. Its obvioulsy a cost saving measure but it would be nice to have 128/256 instead.
