Which system is faster

[Devante]

Which one of these systems is faster
Xbox 360 elite
Pc
Playstation 3

[PYRO_JUNKY]

i'm no expert but i think pc can be the fastest, proubably depends on what kind you got.

[Klendathu]

The the main cpu on an X360 has three cores each running at 3.2 ghz

The main cpu on a PS3 also runs at 3.2 ghz I wasn't able to get any info as to how many cores are running. Rumors also circulate that the PS3 may be running at 2.8 ghz, but Sony sticks by it's statement that the system is running at 3.2 ghz.

Price wise the the home consoles how the advantage here.

[chaos master]

PS3 has only 256 MB of RAM, but it doesn't run a bigass OS like Windows so its still good.

My computer has 2 cores running at 3.22 GHz, and its from 2004.
I think home PC's maximum RAM is now 16 exabytes, which is 16,000,000,000 gigabytes. Its possible with the 64-bit upgrade, but no one has built it yet. Right now, a Linux kernel has a 64 GB RAM limit. I think that's the highest. But you seriously don't need that much.

Bottom line is PC definitely.

[Holland Guy]

well yeh does more stuff i guess...

For Speed, at the moment, your best bet is one of 3 choices:

-get a 360, and get fast gaming now.

-wait a few years, and get a PS3 after developers have figured it out. (currently games on Ps3 in general run at 50% framerate of the 360.

-or, dump an assload of money into a PC, and then spend a dickyear configuring it to run the games how you want them to run.


I'd get a 360. most fun to the max!

Well, no idea between the PS3 and Xbox 360, but there are slow consoles with good games. :)

16,000,000,000 gigabytes
Couldn't resist, but, you mean 17,179,869,184 gigabytes. :P Silly rounders, why-ever-the-hell they started doing that.

:rolleyes: they hate exact numbers!

2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, ...

[Iconoclast]

XD yep, some sort of coincidence I guess. Now Vista uses the "metric" scale (e.g. 1,000 bytes in a KB instead of a 1,024) for some reason.

But it's provable by basic binary understanding that 1,024 is the correct 'approach'.

[Pouso-G]

...Silly rounders...
This is for people that only do their pictures and listen to some music on PC and don't know about nothing.
...Vista uses the "metric" scale (e.g. 1,000 bytes in a KB instead of a 1,024)...
Dunnow bout that... Ain't got no Vista... Will wait about 2 years to get it, but it's annoying. Buy a 300GB HDD look at the properties and you just got 278GB. Just because of the rounding... But in this system there is some logic inside:
1024 B=1 KB
1024 KB=1 MB (1048576 B)
1024 MB=1 GB (1073741824 B) (This would be 1,07GB for me, not 1GB! Although WinXP rounds up to 1GB at 999MB!)
I would continue this, but my calculator jerked off after that and I don't feel to make this calculation on paper... :D
Whatever...

PCs will ever be the most powerfull "gaming-consoles", if you want to name them like that. Even if there has to be a OS running on them like Win*uck or something. The CPUs & GPUs will always be more powerfull and OSs will (hopefully) be more efficient. The only problem is the cost of the different parts of the system, as long as they are new on the market. But you'll never do with a console, what you can do with a PC!

[chaos master]

The problem is. Consoles have the same hardware in every unit. Game designers may rather develop a game for one make of console than make the game compatible with all the video cards, OS's, etc. available to PC.

not to mention that PCs can play console games with a little bit of tweaking. :D I'm so glad that I can play PS1 games on the road... I haven't played with the PS2 emulator yet, but eventually I will.

[Iconoclast]

:D Winf*ck, dunno why that looks so awesome....

Well, I've seen emo blond-haired girls who ask "how many pictures can it hold"? So they know even less XD than things like bytes, k, so sad examples in this world, damn cavemen using technology out of money that comes out of their ***es.

And that one ho has this stoned look on her chipmunk face 24-7 YADA enough of that.

PS3 > PC > x360.

No PC in the world today can compete againts the Cell inside the PS3. ;)

I agree with most everything there, except, that 64GB of RAM you're talking about is for a server system. Home PCs only go up to 8GB, and NO PC goes anywhere past like you said, 64 GB. I don't know where you got 16 exabytes from. Unless you mean how processors are capable of processing up to 16 exabytes of data at once, except, very, very slowly. But, again, that's not RAM.

PS3 > PC > x360.

Cell!? There's a mini-dragonball Z character inside the PS3!?

Yeah, there's nothing in a computer simply called a "cell". You're thinking of people. And animals. And plants. They have cells. Unless you're suggesting the PS3 is a living thing.

You're an idiot.

[Iconoclast]

Or he might be just trying to be sarcastic....

And XD at least before some of you here fixed me up I was supposed to be the last type of guy to realize that along with trolling.

[BlueDragonMan]

Eh I remember somewhere sony was talking about the cell in their ps3, but I believe they ment they're processor and were just being complete idiots.
