I heard that xbox 360 has a 3 core 3.2 ghz processor which sounds way too high tech for the last quarter of 2005.. what are its flaws?

IBM makes ultra High performance, super computer chips. Chips that make Neha look like a celeron. So naturally saying IBM couldn't make such a powerful chip in 2005 is not true. I don't know how it compares clock to clock as compared to AMD's/Intels CPU, but I believe it is less than AMD's chips (although I really don't know). The 360's CPU is based on a powerPC design, but that is about all I can say really, I don't know more about it.
Edit: also don't forget that each of those cores can hyperthread also.
I don't get it. If IBM made such good CPUs, then why don't we see them dominating the CPU industry?
Because x86 is a terrible monster that won't die. If we were on a better arch than computers would be faster by now, simply because x86 is so limited now since we've basically pushed it beyond how long it was supposed to last.
maybe they think its easier to make money from the software side than hardware and only licensing their hardware R&D.
they also wouldn't have to invest billions in building and updating fabs.
I see your point but something does not add up yet. Let's not hijack the thread. I'll start a new one.
What is the disadvantage and advantage of in-order execution and out of order execution?
How come the Xbox 360 does so well in games
We all think that just because we have the supposedly newest cutting edge cpu's and such technology that we can get from the egg and other places that we are on top of things. NOTTTT. We are are at least 2 to 3 years behind from what the government has had at there disposal for so long that it would make your head spin.
