Well, they're all using IBM processors!

The ps3 (at current porjected specs) will be #87 on the fastest supercomputers list, xbox360 comes in 399th.

oh and while we're on the new gaming topic let me show you the Game Boy Micro:

nihilist:
Uh, I'm not sure what specs for the PS3 CPU you were reading, but it's a single CPU.  Not gonna hit #87.

c1utch:
wrong :)

IBM cell processor at 3.2ghz with 9 assymetrical cores.

2.18tflops max speed= #87 (you have to scroll down, sorry)

of course I partly agree with you, chances are the specs will change for the worse, but as of right now, yea 2.18tflops, 1tflop for the xbox

nihilist:
Not quite, no.  It's one processing unit with eight attached processing units.  In a perfect world, it's fast.  Just like in a perfect world, the PS2 had awesome hardware.  Hard as fuck to write code for it, though, because of the strange optimizations that must happen.  Not a big fan of the architecture, nor the marketing hype surrounding it.  Nor will I base any desicions on things that doesn't even really exist yet.  Not until one of them sees production will I start to make a decision.  Sure, there are legions of fanboys out there hyping how the Cell will demolish PCs, etc, etc, but that doesn't really count for squat.  Guess I'll just wait and see.

ForteBass:
Well, I officially did not understand one bit of that list.
