According to our friends at Kotaku that PS3 Slim is tad bit slower that the older version of the Playstation 3. I wonder why? Even in my older posts, Sony claims that the Slim will be even faster than its previous iteration.
The Slim’s bootup doesn’t include the jingle and the Spider-Man font splash screen, but the level load also is faster, so the absence of that probably isn’t why the Slim’s faster in this test. But who knows.
It makes little sense that the new unit would have a different, slightly underpowered motherboard, so the rumor is that the two configurations might have different hard drives. The maker of the comparison claims both consoles use the same hard drive. It could also be a firmware issue. Who knows.
But look! Look at that! Why the Phat is practically done with the FBI warning before the Slim even shows it! Seven seconds saved! Go Phat! Go!
