I respect your knowledge of processor architecture, at least of cell. But it seems some of your claims are outrageous. I am saying this because my work is related to a major part of processor design. I will let you guess what I do for now. But what you are saying is impossible to pack in PS3 as shown at E3. Cell may be a bit too powerful to fit PS3 at capabilities you are claiming.

Again I am not challenging cell programming which you said you are doing but a different aspect of the so called cell revolution.

Also lets not forget Windows. Cell can promise you moon but it is not going anywhere unless Windows works on it; at least for next 10 years or so.  That gives a lot of time for intel/AMD to catch up. If at all that is.

Well, he did mention 256 GFLOPs at 4.2 GHz, Cell in the PS3 is supposed to run around 3.2 GHz. I believe PS3 will seem on par with the X360 at first and then show it's true potential over time, kind of like the PS2 did.

errr

it only showed its true potential when devs felt like taking full advantage of the system- something that was annoying to do programming wise and time wise.

it seems to me like Sony has been doing some homework around community forums and sending in some "damage control" ppl to put the force back into balance... well more black than light force but is still well balanced...  :blush:  :happy:  :laugh:  :rofl:  :p

aways, wellcome to the playground kids! I'm sure there's enough room for all us here and the main idea is to have fun because everything is about the games!!!  :wub: :yes:

long live to Nintendo!!!  :laugh:  :rofl:  :p  ;)  :whistle:

No kidding. Until he backs up his statement with links to his papers, I wont buy anything he's selling here. :D

Besides that I find it a 'little' strange that some one with that kind of background spends time on forums ... :whistle:

What you think the world revolves around the internet? I wrote something I thought was necessary here once.

Pretty lengthy read but its good enough if you want to read it for the time being. Most of what I wrote and talked about was back during Cells creation and was for college, future of programming, future of microprocessing papers. Been following Cell since the early days back in 2001 when the project moved out to my area and I had alot of friends go in there and work on it.

And you must think the internet is still way back in 1995 to think people with backgrounds won't go on forums and message boards and BBS's and net groups. Hell even high class game developers will look at these forums alot. When I was with Sonic Team in Japan they'd have full days of simply running across various BBS's to see where the minds of the normal and hardcore gamers were.

And personally I just like going to boards and talking about games and systems. Being a fast reader and typer helps the process along ;)

Seriously. I have read this thread, every last post and every last piece of fanboyism (you know who you all are!!!) and there is only one thing which is causing me intense mental anguish:

Except that the only performance figures or indication is from Sony themselves and not from ACTUAL hardware tests m8.

Because outwith Sony it doesnt exist yet! I usually take what Sony says with a pinch of salt then actually look for myself then decide when the hardware is available on a retail level.

Your basing your statement on pure conjecture and believing the hype Sony have touted so far. e.g. my things bigger than your thing...so mature of Sony

granted some of the statements ask for flaming but come on lets be mature about this

(and no im not a xbox fanboy i own both current consoles)

Outwith?

OUTWITH?

In the name of Jumping JC Connor! Don't try to use big words to make a post seem intelligent! Once a colloqualism like "m8" has been used, any chance of intelligence has dropped from the post already!

That and it would seem that there is no such word as OUTWITH!

Back up intelligence with grammar and use of proper English. PLEASE!

hehehehe, its kind of a mini protest,. you cant open a thread or openly complain about mods and the wrong things you sometimes feel that they do. i personally think they act too rash and too harsh and should start warning people people before they do permanent things,. anyways, even this post will probably be deleted and noone will see it, quite frusterating.

I think your trying just a little too hard my friend. Thats what I love most about the internet though. I remember back in 1998 I was a part of a long standing BBS and was talking about some things and my idiot friend in Japan lived about a block from me. On the forum he kept saying I wasn't who I said so I went over to his house and popped him on the side of the head and logged in on his computer lol. Was pretty funny.

I'm not God and belief isn't what I really care about from people in all seriousness. Do, dont, could care less.

"Use of language, my dear boy, not spelling. There is a difference"

Why, Why?? DO we always have to have a spelling nazi in ever damn thread, get over it, he was probably writing "without" and he accidently wrte "outwith" re-read his sentence "Because outwith Sony it doesnt exist yet" now replace the word "outwith" with "without" and whoope de dooo we have a proper sentence.

Instead of logically rebutting his arguments, you picked up some small mistake and make a big deal out of it.

I know I have also gone offtopic but we always have some guy thinking he inveneted the english language, and thinks that he or she is so smart yet cannot simply re arrange a few letter in their "advanced english" mind to make a proper sentence.

Jesus dude drop it. How is outwith even a big word even if it was an actual term in the dictionary?

Whats your point to all this? Your sounding dumber yourself simply by calling outwith a " big word ". Maybe if your 8 thats a big word but us adults don't really consider outwith or without to be something extraordinary in the english language. How gay of a direction is this for a discussion. Hijack a thread with mindless babble is all your doing.

Anyway, to the guy who said the console war is happening in a year and a half, what are you smoking and can I have a hit? PS3 is launching in 5-6 months in Japan.

Read my post again for meaning.

My focus is on attempted intellectualism by using words which sound big but actually have no meaning. Also, note that I was not focusing on spelling.

Of course, said member may suffer from Dyslexia. In which case, I am sorry.

1UP Finds Evidence of Sony Anti-360 Propaganda

back to topic yeah I believe PS3 might be released at $400 or even less but you have to remember that's probably without the HDD and all the accessories like a head-set... I believe Microsoft will lower the x360 price before Sony launches PS3 in America :sleep:

once again friend, i have to say be it spelling or "use of language" -i must reiterate my previous post...  noone cares.

Oh btw, i consider reiterate as more of a "big" word than outwith.

Oh come on. Cut the man a break, he made one of the best posts in this thread. :laugh:

Are you afraid that he knows what he is talking about? He has long, lengthy and intelligent posts.

I don't understand this, he seems to know all these things about the cell processor and yet he is ridiculed by xbox fanboys like you. Okay so i wont generalize, mostly you and jerry. My point is, this guy is just spreading some valuable information and clearing up some misconceptions that people may have about the CELL processor. Let him register on 10 forums and post information, what's the big deal. He is probably the first person on this Console forum who really knows what he is talking about and because he knows what he is talking about he must be sent by Sony right :rolleyes:

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
