Yeah, true, good point.  But that still doesn't explain the overkill of 9.6 GHz.  That's just nuts.  Actually, I believe the XBox is 733 MHz.  If that's the case, that makes the XBox 360 13 times more powerful than the original.  You have to admit that that seems a little excessive.

That's not how it works. You're comparing an older x86 architecture to a brand-new Power-base chip. And multiple cores or CPUs are not additive. ie three 3.2Ghz cores don't equal one 9.6Ghz CPU.

If developers (and the XNA tools) can take advantage of that parallelism, then yes, it's a ridiculous amount of processing power.

But that's the idea. The game console industry is huge these days. And pouring money and new technology into products is something Microsoft is very good at.

"- Strem media from Windows XP (S)(O) ", that means is somewhat compatible with windows no?, but how in a ppc architecture? oO

This could simply mean that when you hook it up to your network via your network port on the XBox 360, you can stream Windows Media files from your PC to the XBox 360. I'm not sure what else it could mean.

Custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU

- 3 symmetrical cores at 3.2 GHz each

- 2 hardware threads per core <-- whats this? some kind of hyper threading?

actually thats wrong.. it should be 2 instructions per core.. Normal CPU can perform 4-6 instructions at once but this CPU will be able to do 2.. its because it will reserve power and for console you dont need that many instruction since you are only playing a game.. I read on Anandtech that CELL processor is also going to have 2 instruction at once.

Mainly whoever posted the "fag" comment.  Wait a minute...I don't see it anymore.  Was I looking at the wrong post?  I think I'm losing my mind or something.

^lol rickie wins

oh. That was Xero. I'm guessing a mod removed it because it was totally unnesessary.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By WaltC · Posted

      All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
