Sony Says Nobody Will Ever Use All the Power of a PS3

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the they-never-heard-of-the-robsort-algorithm dept.

Tighthead Prop writes "Sony executive Phil Harrison has made some brash comments about the Cell processor and the PlayStation 3. Harrison says that the current PS3 game lineup is using less than half of the machines power, adding that 'nobody will ever use 100 percent of its capacity.' Is he right? 'The major reason Harrison wants to hype up the "unlimited" potential of the PS3's architecture is to downplay comparisons between games running on Sony's console and Microsoft's Xbox 360. The two systems are not completely dissimilar: they both contain a PowerPC core running at 3.2 GHz, both have similarly-clocked GPUs, and both come with 512 MB of RAM.'"

    Mathematically, it is provable that there is *no* last digit of Pi. (Else, it would be rational, but we know that Pi is transcendental)
