i think xbox and ps3 work almost same as pc, they got their own cell processor to process date fetch from data from the roms... just the cell processor are processing more thread then regular PC so i think probably tht makes the graphic processing smoother than regular PC.. while regular PC are using Graphic card to calculate the graphic data while CPU calc others such as physic and AI...

Xbox and Ps3 simpler OS which specific for gaming also make it faster then PC OS which consumes ram and also meant for office applications

No the cell processor isn't more powerful, it's just that it's priorities lies elsewhere, where else a PC can run GP code and let the OS sort out shit and the processor handle itself, the Cell is harder to program for as it trades die space for pure FPU performance. Think of it as an idiot that can run 60kmph easily but won't stop if a car is heading his way. It requires more handholding, more optimization and certainly more programming time. No, even the PS3 has it's own dedicated GPU, which is a geforce 7900 Equivalent.

PROTIP : The PS3 looks good because it's games have low native resolutions and then are upscaled. And code is more streamlined on the developers part.

Some rendering is hardware limited in form, it's obvious that the 8800 series will beat the 7900 series in the PS3 in terms of qualitative rendering, no amount of fancy programming can push hardware limitations, although you can trick the end user or implement more costly forms of rendering at high perf hit levels.

If you must know, a 2k PC can beat a 2k PS3 soundly. The end.

Fun factor is still at debate, i've had alot of fun with a Wii and it has totally rubbish specs.

those console graphic 50% depents GC 50% is depents on CD...dun forget xbox 360 is using HD-DVD!...HD-DVD is 50% more clear than DVD....Even Xbox 360 is using Nvidia7900XT as GC...result out also same as 8800GTS.....WHen i play Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter...in Xbox graphic = PC Very high setting (PC i used 8800GTS SLI result = same graphic to Xbox 360 HD-DVD result)
PS3...DO it got GC..i tell u it dun have.....WHY PS3 graphic so so Pretty?

PS3 using 8 Extreme Processor (Normal PC is 5Ghz super max OC with nitrogen liquid) But PS3 Processor is 20GHZ=2Trilion per second speed without OC MEANS 8X20 GHZ = 160GHZ PROCESSOR in PS3!!!!! plus using Blue-Ray Disk...150% more clear view than DVD....PS3 no GC but result same to 8800Ultra Triple SLI result (Do u guys see Grand Tusimo newest one? play games like see a Movie...SO SO  real....Even 8800ultra triple SLi also cannot do that maybe.......
Back to X-box 360....it using HD-DVD and x-box processor is 1 trilion per second speed...means 10Ghz Processor without OC....so PC how to beat those console ? Console no need GC at all using it processor power can make ur games see very nice and Very Fast!!!

DO u see Console games make u lag before? LOL!!!!
Conclusion:Console gaming they no depents on GC they used quality on HD-DVD or Blue Ray Disk to win PC......and Processor too~~~

Here the Link to let u see :PS3 power

Console Graphic Tech is far more higher than PC graphic setting.......

that why console is far far diffrent than PC..PC depents ur GC power...Console Depents ur HD or blue ray Disk power

XBOX360 dun have any Graphic card..WHy it can so pretty? in PC world HD-DVD is cd stroage but in console world HD-DVD is thier graphic nice or not nice le.......Xbox360 it just using HD-DVD Tech clear view plys it 10GHZ processor to make entie games works.....IF Console got GC with 10GHz processor...u can go into 4D world alrady...LOL!!

so this 2 cannot compare to each other~~~

WHy ps1 and PS2 graphic so many diffrent..Both no GC...IT because the CD diffrent only.......DVD is much higher space compare to CD that why it can make more detail stuff into it~~~~MOre detail stuff = more Pretty Graphic it can goes~~~ DO PS2 got Graphic card...Answer is NO!! That why in console world CD /DVD /HD-DVD/Blue-ray is thier Graphic Card!!! SO it cannot compare to PC..PC have GC

finally pro come and explained... looks like its programming tht makes the diff mostly... pc are more clever machine.. lol

PS3 using 8 Extreme Processor (Normal PC is 5Ghz super max OC with nitrogen liquid) But PS3 Processor is 20GHZ=2Trilion per second speed without OC MEANS 8X20 GHZ = 160GHZ PROCESSOR in PS3!!!!!

There's not much that's impressive about the PPE, other than it's a small, fast, efficient core.  Put up against a Pentium 4 or an Athlon 64, the PPE would lose undoubtedly, but the PPE's architecture is one answer to a shift in the performance paradigm.  Performance in business/office applications requires a very powerful, very fast general purpose microprocessor, but performance in a game console, for example, does not.  The original Xbox used a modified Intel Celeron processor running at 733MHz, while the fastest desktops had 2.0GHz Pentium 4s and 1.60GHz Athlon XPs.  Given that the first implementation of Cell is supposed to be Sony's Playstation 3, the simplicity of the PPE is not surprising.  Should Cell ever make its way into a PC, the PPE would definitely have to be beefed up, or at least paired with multiple other PPEs.

yes Stanley, thanks. But I just wanna know the performance of the configuration of 360 is equivalent to which PC configuration?
I mean the estimation. No one tried to estimate it. Thanks for giving 360's configuration guys. sigh

For everything you got...WIKIPEDIA!!

XBOX360

Summary XBOX360->
Custom triple core (not the same core as dual cores in PC) processor from IBM 3.2GHz
500Mhz ATI graphics card, 90nm process, with a daughter die(?) attached
512 MB Memory clocked at 1.4 GHz. However this memory is shared by GPU & CPU

As you can see the architecture is very different from a computer...so i cant tell you what the equivalent of a PC, yet. Later i do a little more research then i'll post an equivalent. IN the meantime you can read the wiki =)
