and why talok about PS3 when we have a much better console near like xbox 360?

Thats your personal opinion and not what the thread is about. I personally might get one of these actually. Dunno yet, will have to read some reviews on all consoles coming out (Y)

The PS3 looks very capable, I will most probably get an Xbox 2 though;

Either way, many developer's i have spoken with have said that they are now so close that most content can work on both system's just as well (i.e polycount's, texture sizes etc) therefore, its going to be a case of which you prefer using i guess.

neufuse: I can tell you, as a games artist that those are entirely possible on current generation system's.

the thing is that, these are er... benchmark type scene's, you would be limited to a level about the size of a room if you were to cram that much detail into it, i know for a fact the xbox 1 can handle a small scene of that quality.

All it is is a good lighting engine combined with either realtime reflectivity or a cubemap, and highish polygon models coupled with a normal map for that extra bit of detail.

of course, as said before it would only wor on a very small scene otherwise it would start killing your framerate.. and it would be already anyway;

so yeah, impractical but possible.

Yeah i hate the fact that other people are going to come in here and say the PS3 is crap and so on... Dont come in here. We are fans of the playstation so dont like it go away!

Not sure if this is official but heres the specs

*Cellular Processors - powerPC

*8 APUs - Vectorial Processors each with 128K memory

*System will run at 4GHZ or 256Gflops

*1024 Bit switched front side bus

*64MB of switching memory

Yeah these are the kinda specs I'm reading about too..nothing concrete as of yet...the only difference is one site is suggesting there are 4 of these CELL processors in the system with 64Mb of RAM for each Processor (256Mb total)..I mentioned this in another thread but it seems the general consensus is there is only one 1 processor...and it was suggested that the speed of each of the processors was in excess of 4Ghz...anyway I'm happy to go with the idea that it is generally beleived there is only going tobe 1 CELL in the PS3 just wanted to bring this to light as another possiblity to what we might see.

Please note this information is based from a site that is not offically endorced or supported by Sony and I am in no way trying to pass this off as fact, just wanted to say that to make it clear for the guys that might flame me for not getting my facts straight...cause they arn't facts...just ponderings!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
