PS3 Cell Processor 'Broken'?
D-Fly writes "Charlie Demerijian at the Inquirer got a look at some insider specs on the PS3, and says, Sony screwed up big time with the Cell processor; the memory read speed on the current Devkits is something like 3 orders of magnitude slower than the write speed; and is unlikely to improve much before the ship date. The slide from Sony pictured in the article is priceless: 'Local Memory Read Speed ~16Mbps, No this isn't a Typo.' Demerjian says when the PS3 comes out a full year after the XBox360, it's still going to be inferior: 'Someone screwed up so badly it looks like it will relegate the console to second place behind the 360.'" This is the Inquirer, so take with a grain of salt. Just the same, doesn't sound too good for Sony or IBM.
Use Firefox. The redesign is very readable using Firefox (Font: Arial, 15).
Reading these posts shows one thing...
Sony can screw up (or rumor to screw up big time) and just about everyone is willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but anything published on the internet that damns anything Microsoft does is accepted as the truth...
Command + doesn't work? I use that all the time now that my reading vision is weaker. It only changes the current tab, not the rest of the internet.
I wonder why that is?
Oh, right, because it has its own bigger gas tank, and connecting to the motorycle's gas tank would be stupid and worthless.
Seriously, who are they kidding with this?
Those who can't do, manage.
Those who can't do or manage, teach.
Those who can't do, manage, or teach... write tech articles for Inquirer.
