SMT is Simultaneous multiple transport (i am pretty sure that is what it means) but it is not like hyper threading... on an ordinary system, the processor can only do 1 thing at a time, but it does them in so few millaseconds that the human thinks it is doing multiple things at once...with SMT, the processor also creates a virtual processor(for a grand total of 6 processors) so that in reality one of the 3 processors can be doing 2 things at once... so with the six processors, microsoft has assigned dedicated duties to each, one of them runs AI, the other, the graphics, another, media. The article i read in OXM said that there were still 3 processors left, so that they could expand. heck you think the graphics look good on the xbox 360 now, wait about 2-3 more years! they are going to blow the doors off of you! I personally can't wait untill they do perfect human renders!alvino said:It's a symmetrical tri-core processor. Each core is a IBM PowerPC running at 3.2ghz each and each core has SMT enabled (something like Intel's HyperThreading Technology), meaning each core has two threads. Basically it's a tri-core processor with three additional logical processors. Powerful stuff...
sorry about the double post but i kinda figured that it was a different subject...
