Cell Meet PC. PC Meet Power.

WhatIfGaming writes:

"We all know that one particular substance to the core PlayStation 3 experience is the cell processor and all the bountiful SPE's that come with it."

within the next 5~10 years. Depends a lot on how far Sony's willing to push the Playstation brand into PC territory; PS3 is already close, but simply lacks the basic desktop apps like iTunes, Word, Excel, Photoshop, etc.

The cell is basically the same thing as The PS2's "emotion engine" was, but in a new package. Tons of hype, packaged with a nice sounding name, and with no benchmark proof of what it's capable of.

The only thing we know for certain is that developers are having a hard time developing games for it, and find the 360 and standard PC architecture much easier.

Time_Is_On_My_Side6628d ago

The only reason why developers are having a hard time is because PlayStation 3 games have to be streamed earlier. The programming with the PlayStation 3 is more of a traditional coding. What the Mac use to do back in the day.

Games like Killzone 2, Haze, Uncharted:Drake's Fortune all do streaming. All consoles do stream but the PlayStation 3 was made to stream unlike the other consoles.

Right now AMD and Intel are laughing their asses off at the stupidity of this article.

JDW6628d ago

That article was really lacking in any substantial content.

JoyiusHammer6628d ago

I think you were expecting too much. It had excellent content, you're just looking to read more that just matches your expectations of "Z0MGZ CELLS FTW 5 PAGEZ"

JDW6628d ago

My actual opinion of the cell is that it is vastly overrated as a multi-purpose chip.

Given the title of the article on N4g, i was expecting some actual benchmarks on how the Cell can be used to make day to day PC use much better.

"When you got drunk off your ass, and your neighbor Todd thought it would be a good idea to hit golf balls on a street full of houses afterwards. Thanks a lot for nothing Cell. Couldn’t help me with on with all your power could you?"

Say what?

DarkCowMoo6628d ago

Why do people try to understand the power of the Cell? no one even knows what this pointless article is trying to get, I mean let the developers DEVELOP games before concluding about the power of it.

Avto6628d ago

Well PC don't deen Cell for HD decoding ATI and Nvidia got it covered even Intel is getting the grip on that, but as for encoding from what I've heard Cell is great and also if you want to see 48 thumbnail on the screen altogether Cell's the wa to go

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing35d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit35d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing35d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9235d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
