.... Aren't these the names used for the PS3 and 360's GPU?

But to answer your question, I would say the ps3 cpu+gpu > x360 cpu+gpu. One of those "its whole is greater than the sum of its parts" kind of things.

I know what my 7900 GT is capable of (a little more horsepower than RSX), and if the Xbox 360 games out right now are any indication, the GPUs are evenly matched.
I can play Oblivion with slightly beefier settings than the Xbox 360, but my 7900 GT also has twice the bandwidth of RSX, so I expect RSX to be just as capable.
You do get one thing with Xenos that you don't get with RSX: free AA. That's one thing the 360 can do, and my 7900 GT cant: play Oblivion with HDR and AA.

There's no telling.
But they appear to be pretty evenly matched.
There's been whisperings the RSX has a bit more brute shader power, on the other hand, Xenos is a more advanced design and is likely to improve it's performance more than RSX in the future (imo).
But they're very close, really, by all that we currently know.
Oh and RSX is just a 500 mhz 24 pipe G71 with a few very minor tweaks btw, with a 128 bit memory bus.
Xenos does not have a PC equivalent though, although the upcoming R600 is said to be based on it's technology. You also be sure the R600 will be a good deal more powerful..

seems unlike that anyone has this number for the RSX just yet. Wait until the PS3 is released and have someone measure

Die size? It will be about the same as a G71.
RSX=G71. Nothing mysterious about it..

The RSX chip is missing purevideo, and isn't the full g71, its similiar architecture not the same, and is overall smaller much smaller then xenos. Xenos with its edram is 255 million transistors, thats just a hair under the g71, RSX would could be as much as half the transistor count of the g71
Anyways perfromance wise both consoles are around the same, now depending on how game programmers use the Cell CPU it will have alot of weight for the PS3, but otherwise either console is similiar, now depending on games that is a different story.
