"Remember that the xbox GPU is more powerful than the PS3 CPU"
LOL!
Let me guess...years ago you sat around in forums like this one spouting similar delusional fanboy crap about how 'teh Dreamcast is more powerful than teh PS2'
The botched 360 graphics hardware design is the single dumbest effort by a console manufacturer. Only a company like Microsoft could come up with graphics hardware based around 10 megs of EDRAM that is too small for 720p games but instead perfect for 480p. What. The. Fuck. were the idiots thinking when they came up with that retarded design.
The 360 is the first console ever to have graphics hardware so weak that it is almost three years into the console's life and the 'big graphical showpiece' for the 360 is running on the shitty and outdated Unreal Engine 3?
Although it is fitting that the botched and wimpy graphics hardware that is really a last gen 480p system has a smaller than last gen storage format with the 7 gig DVDs compared to the 8.5 gig DVDs the PS2 and Xbox had.
It has got to be the ultimate humiliation for the Firefox developers and hardcore fans to be left in the technological dust by Microsoft's Internet Explorer team.
Given how old and poorly written the Firefox code is it shouldn't surprise anyone that a company like Google who has some of the most brilliant developers in the world working for them came out of nowhere and developed a browser that blows the doors off of old buggy, bloated, and slow Firefox.
Whatever that test is doing is not reflected in reality.
Chrome absolutely destroys the latest Firefox with the improved JavaScript engine enabled. It's not even close. I wouldn't even bother with Chrome since Firefox was fine compared to IE as long as I quite two or three times a day to clear out all the leaks and other crap Firefox leaves behind and doesn't clean up properly when tabs are closed.
I can't imagine how much faster and more responsive Chrome is than Firefox after an entire day's heavy usage.
People really are looking for someway to cling to Firefox with these 'tests'.
I had no idea Google was coming out with a browser and the wonderful Chrome comic came completely out of nowhere for me. I had been using Firefox since it was first usable. I downloaded Chrome thinking it would mildly interesting to see Google's take on a browser. Oh my god. I can't think of another piece of software that has made such an immediate impression on me ever. It isn't the individual page rendering that is so fast it is the overall application.
Switching to Chrome gave the feeling of in the past when I went years between upgrading computers and suddenly everything just feels instantaneous and responsive. And Chrome feels incredibly sleek and native running on Vista. Sharp and refined elegance are the impression it gives. Firefox continually degrades in performance and memory usage over time where you can feel the tabs taking longer and longer to switch. And the memory leaks and left overs from long since closed tabs won't go away without quitting out of Firefox. With Chrome there never is any sort of performance decay. Close a tab and memory usage drops exactly as much as that tab was using. And now matter how many tabs are open and have been opened and closed the entire UI remains as lighting quick as when the app was first launched.
There's no way I will ever go back to Firefox. It would feel like going from Win2k back to Win95.

But Microsoft too...ouch!
"I really want this game"
Why? It's not fun. It's basically a tech demo pretending to be a game.
It's like a grad school tech demo with a giant marketing hype campaign bolted on.
