This isnt coing from sony ou noobs, this is a run down of what an journalist and IBM scientist mentioned to forbes magazine. No one in that article works for sony. cell is backed by toshiba and IBM so what ever is said about it im going to believe it. especially if its coming from IBM engineers mouth that worked on numerous cpu's.
Wow joystiq blows really hard. I wonder why they didnt post the actual link to this article? hmmm ...maybe because that statement ( the machine we have is 10 times slower than the PS3 should be" ) was said because the dev kits they have do not have the RSX chip installed. View link below.
