Believe it or not, Halo was originally a Macintosh game. Not PS2.

Teraflops are really relatively irrelevant, you can’t say the PS3 is twice as good as the 360 based only on flops. The PS3’s specialty is floating-point math, the 360 has more general-purpose power, I won’t argue how much, but 3 cores that do more than floating-point vs 1 core that does more than just floating-point, at the same clock speed, using the same IBM architecture, it should be obvious that the 360 has more power for more than just physics. Laws of physics are actually ironically simple.

Besides, all those 1 TFLOPs, 2 TFLOPs, they’re all completely misrepresentative. They include the GPU’s floating-point ability (which is used to calculate the values of the colors of all the pixels, easily qualifying as floating-point), which is not accessible for things such as physics calculation. Only 1/10 of the awesome number 2 TFLOPs is performed on the CPU, the rest is all going into making it all shiny. The Xbox 360 has a similar relative ratio between total FLOPs. The PS3 has 7 cores dedicated to floating-point, which is what is normally attributed to the 2 TFLOPs power, when in fact, it is likely responsible for 5%-8% of the overall FLOPs.

All the computers on that top 100 list, all those flops, that’s the processors alone. Technically, if they all had an equal number of GPUs, the number for “floating-point math” would be many times higher, but it would all be useless for practical purposes.

One has to consider the allocation of the math before jumping to conclusions on performance.

PS3’s Cell’s flops are just that, the flops, and in no way indicative of non-flop performance. And games are about more than just flops.

Furthermore, all those numbers assume ideal operating conditions. Ideal operating conditions will never, ever be reached, unless a program is written specifically to fit those operating conditions. Such a program would likely be useless, such as “.5 x .5 x .5 x .5 …” and have no practical use.

This is not indicative of anything yet, wait for the consoles.
