Default Re: Xbox 360 vs. PS3

[ QUOTE ]
Is the 360 going to be faster? I was reading something that said it had 3 processors running at 3.2 ghz.

But the video card is only 500mhz?

MHz are a relative measurement to the architecture of the chip. a p3 with the same MHz as a p4 will blow the p4 away, for example. that's sort of like looking at car engines and rating them by their RPM ranges and not their actual accelleration/top speed.

much less is known about the architecture of the ps3, but i think the general take is that the xbox is supposed to be faster, but not signifigantly so. as mentioned, sony is planning on having hd media instead of the 360's dvd, so that's an advantage. they're focusing on some pretty weird crap though, like dual hdtv outputs.
