Talk:Xenon (processor)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

+stub, look at Cell (microprocessor) for comparison - laughable how poor this article is. --Col. Hauler 19:14, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

That's to be expected since Cell is a design which will be (or is already) avaliable for whomever want's to buy it, whereas Xenon is a custom built CPU specifically for Microsoft. There's really NO documation available if you're not under NDAs. -- Henriok 22:15, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mips Numbers?

Are there any mips numbers for this CPU yet? If there are they should be included. If Microsoft isn't releasing them, I suppose we'd have to take bogomips numbers from a linux distro running on it.

It'll be a while until anyone gets Linux running on an Xbox 360 (if ever), but we might extrapolate performace from published numbers of the PPE in Cell (Xenon is practically a tri-core PPE), or marketing babble of the expected performace of Xbox 360. Regarding "MIPS", we probably will have to do with "FLOPS" -- Henriok 00:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
