This is the original thread I posted on Ps3 fourum and as you may have already guessed this generaded alot of BLAM! on the forum:

Read below if you are mad with Sony fanboys:

I am mad with them, why? Because they keep saying that the Xbox 360 cannot handle Ps3 games (like the rumor on Assassin Creed) and that the Xbox 360 is slow in hardware compared to that of the Ps3, but in this threat I am going to prove that wrong. I am a graphic programmer and all the info above is entirely true.

1) Many keep saying: “Oh the Ps3 have 7 processors running at 3.2 ghz while the Xbox 360 3…” Just for you guys to know that’s not a very accurate comparison. The Ps3, as Sony said, had one general purpose processor and 6 SPE’s or DSP, witch are processors that can only operate floating point calculations. Ok, floats in gaming are important because you can calculate verts; witch is a priority on graphic gaming. But when the Ps3 outnumber the 360 on Floating point then 360 outnumber the ps3 with general purpose processing. Maybe up to here we have heard it all but what’s general processing? Well Gameplay, AI, random access, and all those features that are not graphics. So:

Floating Point Operations:
Ps3 = 22.4 Ghz
Xbox 360 = 9.6 GHz

Generall Processing:
Ps3 = 3.2 ghz
Xbox 360 = 9.6 Ghz

Comparing both the Xbox 360 is better. Because it has 1/2 of the Ps3 floating point power while the ps3 have only 1/3 of the general purpose processing of the Xbox 360, making the 360 better on ps3s science that it against the 360`s.

2) Again many people compare wrongly the graphics. Yes, the ps3 have a 550 MHz clock speed for graphics, but the 360 have 30 million transistors more than that of the ps3(ps3: 300m ; X360: 330m) works with a better graphics console (DirectX 10) witch provides the usage of vert5s witch are more detailed verts, the ps3 runs on vert4s. Plus the Ati graphics card of the 360 have a pixel/pipeline unifier. On this side I think it’s even.

3) On Bandwidth all should know the 360 is the king, 278 GB/s of total system bandwidth against the 48 GB/s of that of the Ps3. But this leaves me a question: With a bandwidth so small how can the ps3 run the 7 DSP at full performance and the graphics operation it’s video card it’s performing?

4) Well, on Media I can say the ps3 is better, and just because of the Blue Ray Disc. Yes, the 360 will have an add on later but it doesn’t come with it.

I hoped you liked my comparison, but I’m just tired of hearing all this rumors floating in the net that 360 is not powerful enough because on the other sides, ps3 isn’t too. But hear me well, I am not saying ps3 is a bad console, because it’s not. But all I want is a fair treatment of the 360.
