So…remind me why the general public needs these?
Oblivion- Single-threaded
Burnout Paradise- Single-threaded
GTA4- Dual-threaded
Assassins Creed- Dual-threaded
COD4- Single-threaded
COD5- Single-threaded
Crysis (just for kicks)- … whatever the word for 8 is-threaded
What was that about 360 games being multi-threaded?
octuple
I’m pretty sure that Dual-threaded falls under the Multi-threaded category. 
The Cell processor isn’t that great. You have one dictator (the PPE) that tells the poor cores what to do, and then it must take a look at the work so it can see that it is done right. A bottleneck? Sure seems that way.
True, but I’m just trying to show why the Cell is a huge waste.
Liks did a better job though. xD
8 cores controlled by 1 core… that makes a lot of sense… >_>
I highly doubt that the CoD games are single threaded since the requirements for the clock speed are lower if you have dual core.
They are. All games have that though…
Edit: No wonder the PS3 overheats all the time… it’s fabed on a freaking 90nm die!
but, like neither the 360 or the PS3 do that any more >_>
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yes they do, just less so. B/c you guys still have the 65nm process (like the Wii) whereas us PC guys have the 45 and 40nm process. 
I love the whole “Console vs. PC” idea you guys have going on.
I play console games because they are fun in their own right. The same goes for PC games. Who the fuck cares how many cores they use as long as they’re fun?
Example: Crysis, a shining jewel amidst PC gaming, will never become popular. Why? because it’s a PC game, plain and simple. Sure, it’s fucking beautiful, and if you can get over the glitchy area in it, it’s the most fun you’ll have with your PC until the world comes to an end. Hell, it’ll probably be the most fun you’ll ever have.
Halo 3, the game hailed as one of the greatest of the modern console games on the market, will be as popular in 5 years as it is now. Why? Because it’s a console game and is easy to play. You don’t need to know how many cores your system has, or what kind of RAM you’re running. You just put the disc in and play.
Point: Some people like PC games. Some people like console games. Some people like both. The rest of the planet doesn’t give a shit either way, so why waste time arguing over which is superior?
Sorry, just felt like being the neutral douche that calls both sides out on their pointless argument.
Carry on.
console fps’s suck because it’s harder to aim using a stupid joystick than a mouse.
edit
wow… this isn’t a Wiimote clone… it’s more like a nomote
And PC racing, flying, platform and Role playing games suck because you have to play with the keyboard and the mouse. And it’s harder than using a gamepad.
You see how stupid that sounds?
“Yes, because I can connect a gamepad to my PC!”
True.
And I can connect a keyboard and a mouse to my console when I play FPS games. But all console FPS games are optimized for console gamers and gamepads so It’s just dumb.
Stick to PC when you play your FPS games instead and miss out on all the online fun Xbox 360 players have. Playing PC games online is teh sux most of the time.
You’re right. It’s an eyetoy clone, an ever lower denomination.
apart from the fact that it actually works swan >_>
also @swan Halo 3 won’t be popular 5 years from now because it will be replaced by Halo Reach in 2010 >_>
You’re right, it does work. But I’m still not impressed.
And, Point taken. But you see the reasoning behind my argument, right?
Halo: Reach around <.<
People are still playing Halo 1 and 2 so Halo 3 will be played five years from now. 
Yes but Halo 3 will have roughly the same number of people online when Reach comes out that Halo 2 does now >_>
and yes swan I see your point I just wanted to nit-pick
