Gaming Systems
by william on May 17, 2005
Start saving your pennies now for the next super gaming system. But which one do you get? Gamespot.com has a great head to head comparison of the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. The article states:
We're not saying to ignore specifications altogether--most of them are relevant in some way or another. And we're going to talk about the specifications that really jumped out at us at first glance. Let's start with the processor. Sony has announced that the PlayStation 3 will have a 3.2GHz Cell processor that consists of a PowerPC-based core with seven synergistic processing units. The PS3 spec-sheet says that there's an Eighth SPE reserved for redundancy--whatever that means. The Xbox 360, in comparison, has a multicore PowerPC processor that has three dual-threaded cores that can handle six total threads at a time. You might be able to call the Cell's SPE overgrown math units, but we think Sony's Cell processor wins from a brute power perspective.
With built-in wireless and tons of expansion slots I'm already leaning towards PS3, especially since it's also backwards compatible with PS2 which I happen to already own.
