I work as IT at a college and I had a what you might call "A know it all" Staff member say to me.

"The Ps3 processor is the fastest and best processor there is"

I lol'd. Hard. I was almost crying tbh.

I then stated. What about sandybridge? He then stated that sandybridge was made to run only 2 programmes. I then stated in return, how comes I can run steam, itunes and run a game OMG 3 programmess 1!!11!!!one!!

Then asked me what my processor speed was. I said 4.7, I think I stunned him with that. I have a feeling he didn't even think it was possible :D

Had to share, just proves console kiddies know nothing.

Oh and one last thing, he said that AMD make the ps3 processor. I don't know much about console specs but the processor for the ps3 is infact according to wiki
"The PlayStation 3 uses the Sony, Toshiba, IBM-designed Cell microprocessor as its CPU,"
Click to expand...

I am now compiling a document I am going to place on his desk as he is one of those people that will talk crap to make it sound like he's won and show him how low down AMDs most expensive CPU is in comparison to its rival. (I'm not hating on AMD by the way, I am eager to see how their BD comes out)

Praise AnandTech for their big list of CPU Benchmarks :)



/Fun day at work
 
Damn straight it does!
Before I was there he knew the administrator password and since joining we've changed our systems a fair bit and we changed the password.

I'm just waiting for the moment to crack "Atleast i'm trusted with the administrator password"

Oh and also our receptions pc got taken out during a power cut, basically the OS got corrupt but I wasn't there to recover anything as I was at another site. All that was wrong is that it couldn't boot to OS, perfectly easy enough to get the HDD out and mount it as a secondary and get the data off but nope he just formatted it to hell and back...

His excuse to this date is "There was no other choice, it was asking me on the screen to format and that was it"
/facepalm
 
I have done a bit of research to find out the equivalents in PC hardware vs ps3. Becuase of the nature of the hardware in consoles it is hard to get a near equivalent but it is plastered everywhere that the ps3 graphics is close to an OCed 7800gt LOL.

I found some doom 3 benchmarks for the 7800gt. I happen to have doom 3 :D

The benchmarks are done at 1600x1200. I am going to bench at 1920x1080 with 10 tabs on firefox open, steam open, itunes playing and downloading something. To prove him completely wrong.
oh and I have a gtx580 and a i5 [email protected] :D
 
He does student administration or something.

Something like looking at qualifications..

Yes the PS3 cpu is a completely different architecture compared to desktop CPUs (Its cell based) and it does have some raw power but like nothing is optimized for it at all. All it is optimised for is ps3 ****.
 
My computing teacher is like that, lol she's so bad that when she tells us to get off the internet we just minimize it and she thinks we've closed it :P
 
Sounds like my graphics teacher, here's an example of one of her average slides...

hahahah! i loled reading this!!! i remeber when i was thinking of getting a ps3 phoned up there call center asking about the specs on the guy on the other end said it was 3x more powerfull than my desktop pc....
 
I know quite a few people like this and I do find it entertaining, there is a company near where I live who built a PC for a customer. All fine and dandy until the PSU almost exploded (well not literally but you get my point) any way after a minute of looking in the case and checking everything I realised that the dosy plonkers had not inserted the 4pin ATX plug into the main motherboard power socket. So it was only running on the 20pin plug. So I got a PSU I had spare which I knew was fine and wired it up (with the proper 24pin plug) and away the machine went it was taken back the company in question and blow me they did the exact same thing again!

i'd love if there was some way to compare actual benchmarks and see what specs an equivilant pc system would have :rolleyes:
 
I find it's easier and more effective to just say "Hmm, that's not right, it's actually blah blah blah" rather than take his opinion so seriously that it becomes your mission to create some sort of dossier to prove him wrong :\
