My jaw instantly dropped when I saw this:

CPU: PowerPC CPU (code-named "Broadway"). Made with a 90 nm SOI CMOS process, jointly developed with and manufactured by IBM.

Very nice, indeed. Smilie

Well supposedly, powerPC's run a lot faster than other processors...so I hear.

Actually, it turns out that it had a single tripple core PowerPC chip:

Central processing unit
The central processing unit (CPU), named Xenon (Microsoft) or Waternoose (IBM) is a custom IBM triple-core PowerPC-based design.
90 nm process, 165 million transistors, 65 nm process SOI
Three symmetrical cores, each one SMT-capable and clocked at 3.2 GHz
One VMX-128 (IBM's branding for AltiVec) SIMD unit per core
128

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

I know ur excited gunkoi but using power pc technology for consoles is now old skool.Cube was the first in the las t generation and in this generation both the PS3 and 360 are using power pc technology as well
