Cell Processor To Rule Your Home Appliances

[Zeus]

Sony's president Ken Kutaragi has relayed that he hopes to see the Cell processor lead the way in computerization of home appliances. He says appliance makers must change their mind-set for this to occur, they currently are said to hold a great deal of pride from sectioning off their appliances from the world of computers.


In another piece of a multi-part interview with PC Impress Watch, Kutaragi explained that in order for the Cell processor to be successful outside of the PS3, there needs to be a paradigm shift among home appliance-makers.

"I start to think that in order for these daily appliances to change, the people who are making them have to change as well. If people who are developing computers are given the possibility to develop those appliances, things may change, because they think computers are the logical way to do things. [Computer developers] would look at the way the appliances are made today like this: 'What are those things grandpa is making? Is it the stone age here?'

"...The point is, people making those everyday-life electronic devices are still not thinking their product will one day turn into computers. I believe this is some kind of pride that electronic makers hold against the computer world. Pride is okay, but that won’t process the information for their machines. ...The main issue is that you end with various companies capable of making the same product."

im not sure what your all saying here.....are on about the processor or the actual ps3.

please do note, the ps3 is slightly bigger than the 360 and as slightly i mean if you stood both up and add 3 fingures to the ps3.

so i wouldnt say the console is a beast, come on look at xbox 1, compare that to the 360 and its exactly the same size but with a slope.

So Kutaragi is saying that the Cell will become the new standard in various computing devices. And around six years ago, Kutaragi was also saying that the Emotion Engine would become the new standard in various computing devices, when it never even made its way from the PS2 to the PS3. Time will tell if the Cell does any better.
