\"At peak performance, Xenon can issue 21 billion instructions per second.\"

How fast would a regular p4 have to be to issue 21 billion instructions per second?

A regular P4 couldn\'t do 21 billion instructions per second, it would melt if you tried to make it do so.

i know, ive seen what they do overclocked to 5ghz. FWOOSSHHH! looks cool though. I was saying hypothetically, how fast would it have to be.

There is a difference between three individual processors and three individual cores and what they are refering to is three cores on a single processor.

I personally think this design is flawed because there are huge potential bottlenecks in this design which would merely lower the preformance of the console.

However the PS3 has a much better design from what I can see and should outstrip the Xbox 2 by leaps and bounds (not meaning to turn this into console wars mind you).

SF, xordan is right on this one, it isn\'t a 21 GHz processor, it\'s three individual 3.5 GHz, I\'m quite certain that the technology is very nice, but it still isn\'t the same thing


still, I\'d like to see the games that could be run on something like that... too bad the good ones are always produced for PC or PS2 :P

Burn consoles, stack them in a pyre, and burn them all! I hate consoles, I\'d rather stick to my Intel Celeron, 400Ghz..:P....

Hm...21Ghz....thats absurd...I did some research...and came up with..that Xbox 2 will run on around 2.5GHz...3GHz tops....only one CPU is present...will run ATI for graphics....and have 512 DDR...well not bad...for a console...:P

so when are we gonna agree that its not 21GHz... since it seems to be the truth... though we cant be sure this is the correct information on the Xenon..

It would be hard to have a console war without concrete information about each of them. Which i cant find anywhere.

Umm, I think you mean the PSX, as it was called upon release in Japan. Not the PS3. It\'s a little silver square. It apparently has the fastest burning rate, or reading, I forget which, than any other system. It was on Tech TV, I forget, and why is it so hard to find information on this console? Because of the stupid name!

Does that name confuse anyone else? Since PSone was originally called PSX by gamers?

I think the main problem people were having is they were thinking three CPUs, where it clearly says one.

swift: The Xbox (and the Xbox 2) are not at all based on ANY Mac/PowerPC architecture. They are based primarily on Windows, which is based on x86 processors.

The Mac processors are, in general, slower than the PC processors, in part due to the fact that it\'s all from one vendor; there is no internal competition for the parts, like there is in PC hardware between AMD and Intel.

Also, I\'ve seen Intel P4 Extreme Editions running at 3.4GHz... they\'ll be at 3.5GHz in a couple months probably.
