Pelon208 · 2011-11-22 09:10:19

I made this Topic first in the PS3 forum, but I decide to bring it to system wars to have a more 'wide' point of view.First of all, because Sony has spend a ton of money on the CELL, and its a really nice chip.http://ps4info.com/2011/01/12/ps4-cpu-vs-ps3-cpu/I know that I sound like in 2005, but the CELL is capable of cool thing, (look the second video of the next link)http://www.gamersoutlook.com/2011/05/why-cell-processor-is-so-important.htmlIf sony keeps pushing the development and research of the CELL we will have a really nice and powerfull consoles in the future and with low cost (comparing creating the cell from the ground uo)http://www.ps4forums.org/16-playstation-4-cell-chip/What do you think?EDIT: Im talking about an upgraded CELL processor not the sameone.

It depends if the technology matures enough so that a single chip can substitute both the CPU and GPU functions then I think it could be worth it because it will make the integration between different types of processing much simpler. But if the CPU and GPU separation keeps being the norm then they will have it rough with a hybrid approach.

If Sony uses a Cell processor in the PS4, there probably won't be a PS5.
