Yeah we're talking about two different applications of programming here.
Yes that's a big part of it, but programming 3 cores effectively is a lot easier.
No you're just ignoring the differences between both architectures and focusing on the PPC nature, which is a mistake. Where the hell you reach the conclusion of everything else you just infered I was saying, well, it certainly wasn't from what my post was saying.
I'll go ahead and group all of these together, both to avoid making a terrible, boring, "I'm just gonna not read that" post like yours, and because they're all equally stupid. Two different "applications of programming"? Example number one that you don't know what the **** you're talking about, there is no other "application" of programming. Maybe you meant that certain types of programs require different amounts of different processor clock cycles? Oh, well in that case.....so? I answered your question as to why they didn't. And now you're going to try and spin and say "oh well that's only because the applications that Sony was pitching the Cell for don't work very well on it". I mean, wow, do
you even know where you're going with this? And yes, programming three cores is easier than a CELL? Your point? It'd be nice if you could try and stay on topic instead of dodging around the things that have been said just because you've been beaten into a corner. This was never about Triple Core vs Cell, this was about you being a moron and acting like PPC was exactly the same as x86/x64 and somehow more "familiar" to PC developers. Just because this was wrong and made you look like a complete dumbass doesn't mean you can just snap your fingers and change the argument at will, sorry. And that last part, what the hell are you even typing? I'm not ignoring differences between them, I'm saying that they are both different from x86/x64 and that they both have nothing in common with that architecture, making them both just as alien as the other, which is true. Get your facts straight before you try to argue or bog your opponent down with never ending drivel and quotes.

Realtive to the Cell, yes. 3 seperate cores is closer to a CPU then 1 core and 8 SPE micro processors. And the Cell is more laien to prgram for not just because of the aded difficulty of balancing the extra cores, but the small memory of each SPE, and the ton of work Microsoft has put into XNA to make porting between the PC and 360 easier.
Is anyone else reading this? Can anyone else confirm for me that I just read this? I mean, I
really think I need a 3rd party to come in and verify that something this stupid was just said. You just said "closer to a CPU than", implying that neither the Xbox360 nor the PS3 chips are CPUs, that CPU is in fact some sort of brand name or a specific architecture. Has there
ever been a time where it's been more clear that you had no ****ing clue what was going on?
Zenien said:
Never said either of them were.
Uh yeah.
Uh yeah.
The hell? I so have flamed and trolled before, where the heck are you pulling this idiocy from?
Maybe you'd like to submit your own opinion on the data then.
No, you didn't, you just argued as though you believed it, though I guess it's possible for you to be deluded and out of your league enough that you would argue this way without actually believing it, so I guess I shouldn't have assumed there, my bad. Great responses, it's always funny to see someone be sarcastic, only to find someone dumb enough to actually agree, it'd be like a hardcore conservative watching the Colbert report and saying "heck yeah, finally someone who thinks like I do!". And where am I getting this "idiocy" from? From your general attitude towards other posters here? From every post you make on the matter? From the common knowledge that you feel as though you're somehow above it all and actually
aren't doing the things you accuse others of doing, despite being one of the worst offenders? Let's review, again. I've provided multiple examples of you trolling....yet you ***** about people trolling. I can remember you giving some long, *****y "I'm on the rag" speech about how Topdawg's actions didn't justify our own and that saying that was juvenile....and yet, I also recall you saying that you made "Shadowruin", a troll thread, in response to Mentok, something you just denounced. I can remember you flaming THWIP or WHF to no end for a difference of opinion, no matter how calmly expressed or factually accurate...and yet you piss and moan about others doing it? You're a ****ing hypocrite, and you're everything you wrongly accuse others on this board of being.
The rest was a bunch of dumbass **** that didn't warrant a response. Wah wah wah, [insert some nonsense about BR to try and make her look less like a biased hypocrite], wah wah wah, [insert whiney *****ing about "flames" in this board that largely only exist in her mind, which takes anything that isn't "wow Sony sure is swell, right guys?" as a flame or trolling], and so on. It's sad, you clearly don't even have a ****ing clue what you're arguing
about anymore, you're just so interested in not losing and not coming off as a dumbass that you don't care, you'll spew a ton of empty verbage at the screen and hit that submit reply button without thinking twice. What have we seen you do so far? Change the argument at will, showing a lack of understanding of what was being discussed in the first place, the implication that the CELL and Xenon/Waternoose aren't even CPU's (rofl), *****ing about "derailing" a thread that you already derailed yourself several pages back, and generally a lot of whiney, hypocritical moaning that myself and several others are tired of by now. You think we're trolls? Well guess what, too goddamn bad, I'll guess you'll just have to unwad your panties and get over the fact that some people aren't head over heels for Sony, and you might wanna stop your
real trolling while you're at.
