ps4 not having cell processors

[bil_woo]

It is said that play station4 might not have a cell processor as the ps3 now. Instead of that a multi core processor is to be used in it.

A multi core processor would be good in the long run but I think that it will create more diversity between Xbox and Playstation so game developers will end up spending more time on one system rather than the other as it will be harder to port. I could be wrong though so I guess we will just have to see how things develop.

PS4 is, PS3 or the performance will be up for one. PS3 is the Cell BE, for control of the CPU core "PPU (Power Processor Unit)" the one to each CPU core operation for the "SPU (Synergistic Processor Unit)" the seven (originally eight pieces, for a yield disabled) has a total of 8 CPU cores. Then, Cell BE is a scalable CPU by increasing the number of cores, which can increase the performance architecture.

So, PS4 So, CPU core 32 or the numbers and reach. Cell BE is present, 90nm shrink because of the layout while maintaining its basic version, the smaller the degree of reduction of the die. 235 square mm for the 90nm version, 65nm version is 175 square mm, 45nm version is 115 square mm. However, PS4 again to fix the design of a significant number of 45nm chips on the CPU cores can be (SPU Toshiba has significantly reduced the area of core). SCE’s original "IKEIKE" Under the plan, 45 ~ 32nm in the 24 core and 32-core Cell BE and had potential. As if Moore’s Law, 32 reach the core. But SCE will probably do so.

There were a couple of sources that claimed the PS4 might be using a cost effective version of IBM's Power 7 Multi Core Processor
