    "From (the interviewer of this interview) Masakazu Honda's blog

    http://blogs.itmedia.co.jp/honda/2005/06/5_df9a.html
    (the picture of a PS3 devkit is at the middle, click it to enlarge)

    The devkit spec is:
    + a 2.4GHz Cell
    + an unreleased GPU with a slightly less clock speed than RSX, connected via PCI-E (4-lane, only for the test purpose)

    Currently the library can't split a job into threads automatically, but when you create threads you can choose one of 3 threading algorithms by which the system assigns threads on SPEs automatically.

    E3 press conference demo were actually running on this machine, which has the lower clockspeed and the lower bandwidth than the actual PS3 spec. Yay "

    i dont think it was i think they just trying to make ppl buy them. if it was only using 30% then the real thing will be 3 times as good. no way x-box is better even if that was true

    Xbox360 Isn't going to touch the PS3 in overall power, it's already been proven. As for the 30%, part of me believes it, part of me thinks that maybe it was about 50%. We'll see when the system comes out though. Regardless, it'll be damn powerful.

    The biggest thing to me is the games that come out on the consoles not to much on the power. You have your Nintendo fans, Playstation fans, and you have your Microsoft fan, so let see in the end which one does the best in sales.

    dude ur a retard lol...wtf are you talking about...ps3 had been in the works longer then the 360...and there ARE 2 usb ports on the ps2...which was out before the xbox...and you CAN get a HD for ps2...but like i said u have to buy FF-11 to get it...ps3 will have 7 controllers...one freq is used by the bluetooth system itself so it can run independent...thats y theres 7 possible controllers not 8...unlike most xbox fan boys i take the time to find out wtf im talking about just so i can prove them wrong...and what i said about the ideas its true...if nobody stole or used other peoples idea's then we would progress...now buddy if ur gonna try to diss me or anything...u might wanna think more carefully

    Great, thats all we need. I bet by the time PS4 comes out, its going to rule us humans. It'll be all good though, but we muct remember, games are what make a console better than the rest...
