John Carmack about Next Gen consoles
>> Here's what John Carmack (ID co-founder) to PC Gamer UK Magazine (via next-gen.biz) about the Xbox 360:
[QUOTE]
Consoles vs. PC
"The difference between theoretical performance and real-world performance on the CPU level is growing fast. On, say, a regular Xbox, you can get very large fractions of theoretical performance with not a whole lot of effort. The PlayStation 2 was always a mess with the multiple processors on there, but the new generations, with Cell or the Xbox 360, make it much, much worse. They can quote these incredibly high numbers of giga-flops or tera-flops or whatever, but in reality, when you do a straightforward development process on them, they're significantly slower than a modern high-end PC."
"...The graphics systems are much better than that, though. Graphics have an inherent natural parallelism. The capabilities of the Xbox 360 and PS3 are really good on the graphics side -- although, not head or shoulders above any PC stuff that you can buy at a higher price-point."
