Journal Saige's Journal: PS3 Slow and Broken? 2
Just saw a pointer to an interesting article, and wanted to share this one with people.
If the story is correct, it looks like the PS3 hardware is slow and broken. If the numbers show are correct, the cell processor reads from local memory 250x slower than it writes - making it all but useless. Kind of a big oversight, you might say. Assuming these are true, the PS3 will cost a lot more than the 360 yet be much less powerful. If this is true, it's pretty much a two-horse race now in this generation.
(Note that I'm not submitting this as a story just because I'm a member of the Xbox team, and don't want to go down that road. I'll let someone else determine if it's worth sharing.)
Sony is in trouble (Score:2)
In the end, this may be a two pony race...
