Nope. IBM Toshiba and Sony all have a direct stake into the Cell Processor Design. Notice DESIGN THERE CAN BE MANY Design's of a said product. Its still the Same core product. what MikeB posted is valid, because what it stated was only one part of the Cell Processor product development is being haulted, not all the Cell product's. |
I am not saying what Mike posted is invalid. I'm saying it's already understood and not needed. Also, note this is about IBM, not IBM, Sony, and Toshiba. I only commented on IBM. What this article states is that IBM (not Sony or Toshiba) is haulting production of the successor to the Cell BE in the PS3 and moving to new things that will use aspects (such as architecture, or design, or many other possible things like ALUs, SPUs, IFUs, etc) of the Cell in them but will not any longer be a "Cell" product. Note that I also said that at any point anyone can commission them to produce another Cell CPU, such as Sony for the PS4.
