PLAYSTATION 3 HARDWARE SLOW? – STORY UPDATED

Kotaku is now reporting that the techies over at Slashdot are currently debating the story and what exactly the specs mean. As I stated earlier, I’m not a master programmer, nor am I an engineer, so take anything I say here with a grain of salt, but the gist of the debate seems to be whether the specs are in fact horrible, if it’s just a bad benchmark or if the problem is moot because the Cell Processor doesn’t have to read information coming from the problem area anyway. Of course, the argument has also broken down into a fanboy argument in some areas, so expect plenty of mindless stupidity to interrupt what seems to be a very technical argument. I think I’m going to take the advice of Kotaku’s Florian Eckhardt and just wait for the games to determine whether or not the PS3 is slow.
