Xbox 360 demos running on Macs

M51DPS:
And don't forget, IBM is going to have open specifications for the Cell processor, so maybe we will have Linux sooner on the PS3 than XBox.

And the Xbox processor will be bassed on the Power5? Come on Apple, bring me my dual-core G6!

Jenda:
Hmm... but how does the processor achieve this, having the same frequency (3200MHz)? Is it just more bits at a time, or is there another factor?

Aloone_Jonez:
There are many other factors that deturmine the speed of a processor like cache, bus width ect.

 Recently Ken Kutaragi had an interview with PC Watch, in which he disclosed a few more PS3 details, specifically details surrounding the Cell processor and HDD.
 
In the interview, Kutaragi states that the PS3 will not ship with an installed HDD, because no matter how large it is, it won't be enough. It would seem, however, that the PS3 will come with a drive bay large enough to support more than one HDD. Kutaragi used an 80gb and 120gb HDD as example, but he also stated that this still wouldn't be enough.
 
Additionally, Kutaragi further emphasizes that he does not want the PlayStation 3 to be referred to as a toy, or a computer. The PS3 is an entertainment supercomputer. To help get this point across, Kutaragi wants the PS3 HDD to come pre-installed with Linux. Kutaragi also boasts that the PS3's Cell chip will be able to run various PC applications such as video and photo editing software. In fact, he believes that they would run better on the PS3, thanks to the Cell chip's advanced technology.
 
Of course, with all this great and wonderful technology, time is required to get everything straight. It seems that currently more than 100 PS3 development kits have been distributed by Sony, but they are running out of parts to produce more. This is not the first time Sony has encountered this problem, as dev kits were also in short supply during early PSP development.

I'm getting one for sure. I've also read a lot of tech specs so I'm leaning towards a PS3. I also don't feel like adding money into MS pocket as someone else said. Screw Xbox360!!!:fu:
