On a scale of 2X-10X+, how much better would a Pentium M have been for the Xbox 360?

On a scale of 2X-10X+, how much better would a Pentium M have been for the Xbox 360?

The max overclock rate for a Pentium M is 2.26 GHz whereas the rate for the Xbox 360 Slim's is 3.2-GHz, so actually it would have been worse.

Dude no, overlock rate / clock speed isn't everything. Remember, the Pentium M is typical home x86 architecture for PCs, while the CPU in the 360 was PowerPC, used in some old Macintosh machines. It's notorious for not being very power efficient and running hot, but it was cheaper than an x86 processor for it at the time and it was easier to develop for because of it's graphics processor

actually PPC were known for being just as powerfull despite the lower clock speeds

It wouldn't have been that much better because the primary architecture lots of console devs were using at the time for Dreamcast, gamecube, Wii, etc was powerPC and the money saved on CPU implementation was used to beef up the GPU specs.

The PowerPC based CPU in the Xbox 360 is one of the reasons the console lasted so long.
Xbox lasted from 2005 to 2013 with no real hardware changes so a good 8 years run and only 2 years short of the predicted lifetime of the console.
Right now with the Xbox One which is x86 based where already needing the Xbox One X 4 years in because the performance is so abysmal.

This, it's pretty bad when a 7970 card you can buy for less than a $100 combined with a ryzen 2200G or some other cheap ass shit machine is better than a PS4, plus the benefits of pc gaming.

Dreamcast had a SuperH processor

It really amazes me how condescending this post is despite how misinformed and just utterly clueless you are.

>Benefits of pc gaming
Like what, anime and wearing skirts? Arguably not advantages

ITT: OP is a literal brainlet.

you can play 2 games at once or do literally whatever you want in a pc, thats the good thing, you can program, edit video, paint, watch videos, whatever the fuck you want, and if the only thing you can think about is wearing skirts and watching anime then you are a faggot

>you can program, edit video, paint, watch videos, whatever the fuck you want
I can do all of that on my PS4 with Linux.

>anime
Consoles are better at anime.

x360 cpu is in-order cpu to save costs, you clueless sack of shit. Any out-of-order cpu wth the exact number of cores/threads would shit on it.

yeah, like 10 times slower and without multi monitors

>Program 10 times slower
>Edit a video 10 times slower
>Paint 10 times slower
>Watch videos 10 times slower
?????

So the benefit of PC gaming is that you can not play games and not shut the fuck up about it?

That doesnt really matter much for games

A worthy contender for the Dunning-Kruger Award in technology.

then you have a pc

>It's notorious for not being very power efficient and running hot, but it was cheaper than an x86 processor for it at the time and it was easier to develop for because of it's graphics processor
It wasn't cheap.
You probably are confusing the PowerPC 970 with the Xbox processor. They derive of the same POWER4 ISA, but they're different.
Etc.

at least half of those actually make sense
