is taht for real? thats is truly incredible. it uses atoms instead of transistors? amazing. i would always say why do CPUs only read 1s and 0s and this can read other stuff too. revolutionary. but 1 thing, wher edid u get the idea theyd put such an incredible piece of technology in something such as a ps4? no way this is going directly to pc or military pc's

Yes, on older technology. From the article this is going to be top of line hence going to cost alot. In time is will be cheaper.

I think the PS3 prove people are not willing to pay more than $600 for a console I don't see that changing anytime soon

Well, I'm thinking that next gen consoles will come out around 2011-2012, so by then those thing's might be cheaper.

don't get me wrong I would be jumping for joy if that thing made it into the next consoles....talk about nextgen...but think of the DEV's from the sounds of it this thing carries information in a whole new way...PS3 is hard enough to program for what kind of tools can we expect...sounds cool in theory but this tech might be too raw

So you think a much more powerful processor,graphics chip,next-gen movie format,and Pc like features,will retail for less than $600? Explain this please,as the only console with the slighest chance and ability to do all that the Ps3 can do and still cost less than $600 next-gen is the Ps4(Think about it).

wait what? we have no idea what the next gen consoles will have by way of hardware...all I am saying is that every generation the consoles improve in terms of hardware and functionality...but historically people have not been willing to pay over $500 for a video game console...

if I had to guess the next Xbox and Playstation will have Bluray drives (Xbox might have an HD-DVD drive built in but it really just depends on how the format war will go) and I honestly expect with all the money Sony pured into Blu-Ray and Cell they might usethem again...honestly maybe like a Dual Cell setup because by that time Dev's will be comfortable using it...I don't expect them to have Crystal CPU's though

i seriously would hope sony would not be stupid enough to come to market next generation witha new format that seriously won't be needed like hvd. the disc alone are going to cost $100 in 2010. it just doesn't seem practical for sony to try and launch a new format next generation. i think they should just come with a blu ray player with faster read speeds and whatever elsethey can think of because paying more then $600 for a gaming console is just seriously out of the question even 5 years from now.

technology is improving really quickly

but whether or not we'll get that stuff in next-gen consoles depends on the price

can't expect that to be cheap

I dont think Sony invested huge amounts of money for the Cell to not be the processor for future product incarnations. The cell is very scalable and very powerfull for console based systems.

thats exactly what I said earlier Sony spent alot of money on BluRay and the Cell...they say BD's can be up to 200GB's right and the Cell is not even being close to fully utilized thats why I think PS4 will stick with theses...like I said maybe even a Dual Cell or something and like some1 else said the current BR drive is only 2X so a faster drive as well

No chance on Earth Sony will come with a new format,Blu-ray is here to stay for atleast the nest 10 years. Microsoft are going to license Blu-ray next-gen,and make their own parts.I highly doubt their console will cost less than the Ps4.

Blu-ray/HD-DVD seems to be the storage format of the future. Just recently the format got pushed to a 500gb capacity and the team behind it feels they can pull off 1TB.

I believe it...you would need a really fast drive for 200+GB's though...I am thinking 50GB's should be more than adequate next gen...but the size is there if they need it...and if HD-DVD can hold out both companies maybe forced to go with HD/BD combo drives

I agree but at the same time if Blu-Ray blow up in the next couple years the may need to bite the bullet if there is enough consumer demand for Blu-Ray

This is so old it's not even funny. The first prototype won't be here till 09'. Thats if it makes it out then, but NO! It won't be the next CPU used on the PS brand. They will most likely use a redesigned Cell for it, but it could happen after that gen. Just not the next one.

[QUOTE="Medjai"]yeah because you will be able to have a console at sub $600 with that processorDualshockin
If you think the next generation of consoles will be cheaper then you're in for a surprise.

Given the sucess of the 360/PS3 compared to the success of the Wii, it's a gurantee that they'll be cheaper next time around. You'd have to be pretty naive to believe otherwise.

IBM has been owned my intel, 2 TeraFLOPs @ 6.26Ghz. If this is true, 2 cells are the same speed as this cpu, 400GFLOPs isnt impressive. 2TF: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=40469

This isn't actually a new thing, I remember reading an article about it in the days of the N64. I believe the problem at the time was that it couldn't be used for a general usage only something very specific and ofcourse the expence.

A couple of things though, surely multicore is the future especially for gaming and I don't think a games console will really need 300Ghz CPU. But if they used it in a GPU then it would be amazing. I don't know, I don't have the knowledge to make a meaningful comment I guess.

But its system wars, never stopped us before :D
