I heard that's just some theoretical value Sony feeds people, and that in actual reality, the PS3 can't perform even close to that amount. U can't rely on theoretical maximums.

The Cell Arcitecture is more than capable of crunching numbers at that speed, the problem is that cell has almost no advanced instruction set to speak of, although why you were taking the performance of a geforce graphics card to debunk the power of cell is completely beyond me.

That was a long time ago...

Pulling up old threads?

And I'm taking the performance of a geforce graphics card not to debunk the power of the cell, but to debunk the power of the PS3  graphiccs card.

Sony claims that the total ouput is 2 Teraflops. With 1.8TFlops comming from the GPU, and the Cell doing 218GFlops.

Ok, I don't have problems with the Cell doing 218GFlops. I'm talking about the GPU. The GPU shouldn't come close to 1.8TFlops, considering that it's based on the same architecture as the geforce 7900 card, which does like what, 1/10 that much.
