It is definitely worth it. Sony is actually losing $200 us per each unit. The CPU speed is at 3.2 GHz

yeah, theoretical performance, this is not really worth anything, as
1. you cannot use 8SPUs but just 5 or 6, which results in 75% of that peak performance
2. an G80/Geforce8800 has more than twice this SP power (and is easy to program with cuda), but at simplest tasks it's slower.
Those power might just be usefull in special conditions, like raytracing, that's why I made this http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=7665 request. to know the _real_ performance.
Normal programs without any hand-made-optimisations will run slower than on most PCs/Macs that you can buy. |
