Actually, the fine granularity of the Cell architecture makes it easier to code for than Xenon's 3 dual processors.

That is so not true. It's going to be much easier to code for a sane 6-way xenon SMP than it is to code for that crazy DMA/SPRAM/APU monstrosity that Cell is going to be, if the patents are at all close to reality.

MS knows a lot about coding on parallel SMP architectures already. Windows Server 2003 can already run quite well on 64-way SMP machines -- and you can bet that knowledge will apply nicely to a 6-way SMP xenon, if that's really what it is going to be.

Confirmed(?) Xbox Next Titles So Far:


Vanguard
Dark Sector (from Digital Illusions)

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes? That's a PC only title so far I believe?

Dark Sector, Digital Extremes

Anyways, it's gonna be cool. I'll wait and see though. The discission is still kinda pointless, because theres no 'solution' to the 'problem'. That there will be cool games is all I care for, and let's hope Microsoft makes the machine nice and powerfull. Set the bar high.

Microsoft said this would be coming to all XNA platforms if I recall correctly.
