Xbox 360 vs PS3 Article

well here's an article from AnadTech I found to be incredibly interesting.

Its a sum of both the consoles

It basically says that if properley utilised correctly the Cell will be very good.

It says that given the right programming: the Xbox GPU will be very powerful.

It also discusses the technical vaguaries of both consoles and their hardware.

At the end of day 1, when running mostly single threaded code, the performance difference from a CPU standpoint between the Xbox 360’s Xenon and the PS3’s Cell processor is basically a wash. The 360 has more cache, while the Cell has a lower latency path to main memory. In the end, the first generation or two of games will mainly be a GPU battle between the two consoles, and both will offer significant improvements over what we have with current consoles

I would reccomend anyone thinking of buying the next-gen hardware to take a look. Its a long read but very interesting so take a glance over @ AnandTech
