Also with 7 processors loadtimes will damn near be non existent, at least for the beginning games or lower graphically advanced games, because the programmer could use the extra processors to load in the background. That's scary...extra processors.


But you've gotta remember, hardware specs ALWAYS look better than they actually perform. That 2.360 TFLOPs in theory, but in actual performance it will probably never reach that. But its still more powerful than anything else around right now...

But yeah, the 7 processor thing will either ruin Sony or make them very successful. Its hard enough programming for 2-3 CPUs, but 7? At first, people probably wont bother with them all... If they invest time and energy into learning effective methods of coding for all 7 cores, then the games that we'll be seeing in the future will be amazing.

But remember, when everyone was using 1 core in consoles, sega used 3 and got fucked on... it was just too hard for the programmers back then to handle. Why waste so much time on making a game for one console, when its easier to make a game for another console? Sony better be packing a shitload of binding 3rd party contracts, and no doubt SCE will be making some ill games of their own to kick shit off.

but........ i want a revolution -_-
