PS3's CELL processor 'dead in the water'
According to reports, the PS3's CELL processor is 'dead in the water' and will never be used in the PS4. Apparently, the CELL line will be terminated and the current PoweXcell 8i is the last one in the series.
The PS3’s innovative ‘Cell’ processor won’t be used in the PS4, according to reports this morning, claiming the chip is “dead in the water”. Apparently German website Heise Online has quoted IBM’s Vice President of Deep Computing, David Turek, saying the planned successor to the current processor, slated to have two PowerPC processors and 32 SPEs, will not be released. Extrapolated, then, you can summise that the Cell processor line is terminated, with the current PoweXCell 8i the last one off the production line.
