Enough said was based on e3 announced specs not acutal specs

But the GPU is unlikely going to change, it would be silly of Sony to change the GPU on the last minute.

However the Xbox 360 gpu is 100% accurate information since the machine is actually out on the market.

Nice read, but a few things are now inacurate because of the date it was wrote, but still, an interesting read for those interested in the differences between the two system.s

True you will have software updates however not sure about hardware.

Anyone here that makes clear sense of both the GPU's explain which one is better? Or give some views on advantages and disadvantages on both?

Given that there are still NDA's regarding PS3's GPU, we can only make assumptions. The general consensus is that the 360 GPU was designed with bandwidth and low latency in mind. Hence the difference between it and mainstream PC GPU's. The 360's unified shader approach should allow developers more choice in how to optimise/load balance their code. However they will first need to stop thinking like PC developers, and spend more time managing resources. Information is freely available regarding the 360 GPU. PS3 GPU is on paper the more powerful architecture without clever code optimisations, however there is a lot of talk regarding bandwidth limitations. Many think there's just not enough bandwidth on the PS3 provide the GPU with enough work. The 360 approach is to keep GPU loaded most of the time, the PS3 approach seems to be to starve a powerful GPU. The fact is until the NDA's are lifted we just won’t know for sure.

Thats very well put, hopefully more information will be released at this years E3.
