Slashdot Mirror
Inside the Xbox 360
QT writes "Ars Technica has an in-depth look at the Xenon processor
that will power the Xbox 360. It's the first technical look at the CPU itself, its design goals, and some of the differences between it and IBM's Cell processor. The Xbox
360's procedural synthesis capabilities look quite impressive, and I'm not as convinced as I was before that the PS3 would spank the Xbox 360."
Because its the only M$ product that gets positive attention here :)
crap
Clearly you arent, since you are about the 1500th person to mention it.
OK, now that we have a PowerPC chip here, who thinks they can port what to the new XBox 360?
Xeon is probably somewhere near Radeon on the marketing table of imaginary elements.
Amazingly nobody mentioned OS/360 released by IBM exactly 40 years ago http://ldworen.net/fun/os360obit.html and still downloadable from http://www.cbttape.org/os360.htm
You mean you're not thinking of running linux on this thing? Turn in your geek card immediately.
I am trolling
Silence! -
We all know that Xenon is the mega blast.
great.. now i cant that old bomb the bass track out of my head.
- Mad, ingenous - they've both left you puzzled -
You mean all these years I've been trying to figure out the composition of the magic smoke that makes my machine run and its been Xenon the whole time!?
If brevity is the soul of wit, then how does one explain Twitter?
Dude, this is Slashdot. Where if Microsoft is associated with your product in any way, everyone hates you, thinks you're taking over the world, and pirates your software.
You might be able to, however if you open it to check you'll change the outcome.
