Default Re: PS3 vs XBOX 2

To put things in perspective:

Gigaflop = one billion floating point operations.

According to the quoted stats the playstation 3 CPU runs can do 218 gigaflops. The pentium 4 was the first chip made by Intel that could do 1 gigaflop.

The GPU (graphics processor) doing 1.8 TFLOPS which is 1,800 gigaflops. The Radeon X800 (a $500 video card) does 0.2 TFLOPS or 200 gigaflops.

Are these PS3 stats correct? Cuz all I can think is "holy [censored]".
