"Recommended graphics card: Radeon 9250"

this seems pretty odd as M9 is basicly same product family with same DX compability.   :-?

I would take my time porting to PS3 and/or XBox. It would be easier to do, and more powerful than x86.

As for "more powerful than x86", PS3 is a road kill against AMD based PC (i.e. AMD GAME!(1) reference platform i.e. AMD Radeon HD (stream processor array) + AMD Phenom (command prcoessor).

Refer to http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/38145/135/
Real time raytracing the Transformers movie teaser trailers.

Let's see STI CELL matches AMD Radeon HD 2900/3800/4600/4800 raytracing.

Game for PS3 vs AMD PC debate?

Sony PS3 Fold@Home  = 900 PPD
NV Geforce 8600M GT Fold@Home GPU2 = 1135 PPD (AMD Radeon HD 3650 scores similar points).

1. "AMD GAME!" refers to AMD's "Centrino" for desktop PC market.


You do realize that you are now comparing cpu against gpu? There isn't currently a CPU in the PC market that would match CELL's speed. Oh well maybe one of the fastest quad core processors could now match its speed, but still it is a mighty powerfull processor that is combined with a fast gpu. The system kind of works like dual-gpu system, developers are able to off load many tasks from gpu to cpu etc.
