Voila ce que l´on peut trouver sur un forum de PS3 Land (désolé c´est en anglais) : Hi, just found this on some Apple information site linking to a PC site (so not in their favour):
http://www.pcinpact.com/actu/news/28742-Le-Cell-35-fois-plus-rapide-quun-G5-pour-la-.htm
Article is in french but google should be able to translate that. My mother tongue is french. The news is from today. Did not find any post about this. PC impact is a serious French PC news Site about hardware.
I will try to summarize the article but I think doing a google research with grid world 2006 should lead to something.
Basically, IBM at the grid world 2006 published new benchmark for their CELL processor stating that it is 35 times faster than a dual 2.0 Ghz G5 at 3d Imaging, we all knew the cell is a monster for 3d apps but that is enormous. I should recall that the 360 is a 3 core 3.2 Ghz derived G5 processor. I should also mention that the CELL processor for IBM BLADE servers is a 9 core processor so 2 more cores than the PS3 CELL(these server are used in medical digital imaging and thinks like that) but is the same for everything else. I think It should give a good Idea of what the peak performance In 3D of the PS3 could be. I know it should not be done as easily as that but Xbox 360= 9.6 Ghz = +- 2.5 times better than a G5 dual core(it is the same processor actually even a bit downgraded but with a faster clock)
PS3 CELL is About 30% less powerful than blade server(2 core less) : 35 time - 30%=24 time faster than the dual G5.
So in theory PS3 should be 10 times better at 3d imaging and apps than the XB360. Even if I cut this in half it is still 5 times better.
I know that we will not be seeing this kind of advantage in the 1st 2 years (1st gen PS3 games will look about the same as the 2gen 360 but I think the difference will climb exponentially) but wait a couple more And I think we will be pretty amazed at what the CELLL+RSX combo will be able to output .
La PS3 serait 10 x plus rapide en ce qui concerne la gestion des applications et des modéles 3d..... LE Délire !
le mec dit aussi que cela se remarquera pendant ou après la 2ème année et que les jeux de 2ème genération 360 seront équivalent a ceux premiere génération de PS3. Un peu fou comme info mais vérifiée par les chiffres
