IBM Have Not Stopped Cell Development

You may have heard the rumors circulating that IBM had stopped Cell development, and it was therefore a failure. Well that was wrong.

hmmm maybe it wasn't such a failure after all xbox fans...

LiquifiedArt6056d ago

Some quality journalism.

Extracts exactly WHAT is being halted. News is 90% idiotic and 10% informative.

This is in the 10%.

PLAYSTATION 3 IS TEH DOOOOMMMED!!!!

evrfighter6056d ago

Interesting. It's very rare that Sony has to reach into their pockets.

Trebius6056d ago

All the 360 fools that were dancing about cheering for the end of the cell are now avoiding this thread like the plague.

They really have no clue what they're talking about...

I hope they all feel like idiots after posting the shlt they did on the last thread.

This is funny.

"IBM Have Not Stopped Cell Development"

Yeah right, like I've written in one of my last comment
three days ago. ;)

"The cell is dead in the Water" --- TheSixthAxis

What a lame site.

"The PS3 is outdated!!! it should use 4G RAM and an ATI HD 5970 since day one!!!" --- Nut PC fanatics.

Who the hell started this rumor anyway?

Now this got me excited:

"IBM have said they are planning to work on other CPU's in the Cell Processor 'family' and we would assume that by the time the Playstation 4 hits market that they could very well be involved on some level."

Cell 2 for the PS4???

Christopher6056d ago (Edited 6056d ago )

All that was said was that a specific cell processor design was dead in the water, not all cell processor designs.

I'm still confused how they can call the processor slow in the previous article considering the amount of bandwith for data transfer between the cells and their ability to perform real-time processing faster than other chipsets.

ico926055d ago (Edited 6055d ago )

thats great, i was just looking at the previous article about ibm supposedly halting cell development and LMFAO at all the fanboy comments saying the ps3 was dooommedd

OtherWhiteMeat6055d ago (Edited 6055d ago )

I'm going to song the "Doom Song" ........links not working , sorry

beardpapa6055d ago

People are clearly interested in this article. But alas... because it's not from TheSixthAxis and because it's not another PS3 doomed article, it's merely stuck at 280 degrees. Will we ever see this one get the high marks and pop up at the top of the N4G page?

Until next time...

Anon19746055d ago (Edited 6055d ago )

Did you see the other article, with all the usual Xbox 360 mouth-pieces clapping their flippers together like trained seals and acting that "that must mean the PS3 is also a failure!" at the news? Makes me feel ashamed to admit I'm a 360 owner sometimes, just because I don't ever want to be associated with that type of element.

All I could do was shake my head in disbelief at the level of ignorance on display.

PS3PCFTW6055d ago

xbox fans have just gotten their wet dreams eradicated.

i dont understand all the hate towards the ps3 architecture.

I mean, all the 360 fans said that the 360 has better ram/ cpu/ and a much better gpu than the ps3.

i guess thats why uncharted 2 looks the way it does and 360 has nothing to match that caliber of quality and presentation.

hmmm sony looks well poised to own this gen too. history is repeating itself as we speak

mal_tez926055d ago

That an updated PS3 processor will go into the PS4. It will be more powerful, but work in the same way; so all knowledge and experience gained by developers from working on the PS3 will go directly to skill with the PS4. The more powerful chip as well as more RAM and a better graphics card (also possibly a new optical drive) will mean the PS4 will have high quality games right away, not having to wait a year after release to see awesome games like Drake's Fortune.

I hope this is true, but it was like 3 months ago when I heard it and I can;t remember where.

zeeshan6055d ago

Sony FTW :) The company surely knows what it is doing and what the future holds for us the gamers.

They are working on the next gen cell.

Dutch Boogie6056d ago

True. Just like what i said in the recent article 3 days ago:

"Yeah you'd want that wouldn't you turd (360) lover. Sony can just hire IBM to produce a restructured cell processor as a side project for the ps4. Sony wouldn't stand aside and just watch a hea;thy investment go to waste.

The fact that they incorporated the cell into the ps3 now gives them the advantage of refining it and using an advanced (yet cheap) version for the ps4.

This means developers that have been able to master the cell this gen will have a good knowledge of how to program for it. Now this is the fun part. Because developers will have a knowledgeable understanding of it's infrastructure, we should start seeing next gen (ps4) launch games at a much higher quality than we did the ps3 launch right of the bat.

Now go troll >>>>"

Pennywise6056d ago

Yep... for the dummies to believe that IBM would stop all iterations of the most powerful number crunching processor ever is just plain dumb.

First gen cell chip is breaking barriers... I can't wait to see what comes of this technology.

sikbeta6056d ago

gumgum996056d ago

lol, judgement day cannot be stopped. Only postponed.

TotalPS3Fanboy6056d ago (Edited 6056d ago )

Microsoft will send an X-bot into the past, to try to terminate Ken Kutaragi and prevent the development of the Cell. The Sony Librated Gamers will send a TimeSplitter soldier into the past to try and stop the X-bot.

Godmars2906056d ago

You mean Sony will send a monkey.

A flaming monkey...

gta_cb6056d ago

and i actually watched Terminator 3 last night - good film!

ico926055d ago

its nice to see people are fans of the cult FPS timesplitters such an awesome game especially future perfect

GarandShooter6055d ago

@ sikbeta

My god, those are the guys from Ape Escape...I never realized they were Sony's army from the future, already sent back to PS1 days to prevent armageddon...suddenly this is all starting to make sense...

DaTruth6055d ago

Please no! We don't need anymore Xbots... from any time! There are far too many!

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle55d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7755d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde62d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy62d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12562d ago (Edited 62d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
