You can't just lump two CPUs with completely different architectures together and expect them to work just fine. Ryzen is x86, Cell is PPC. If Sony wanted to use Cell again, they would have to go back to PPC and I don't think that will happen as PPC is pretty much dead when it comes to consumer hardware. It has been dead for quite a while now.
Also, The Cell hasn't evolved too much. IBM and Sony gave up on the thing so it is stuck in the past. Sure it does have some impressive features and it can run crazy fast in floating point operations. But that's about it. It lacks a modern architecture. It is less powerful than virtually all other hardware today in most use cases and it uses way more power. For the cell to be feasible for the Next-Gen Sony would have to invest billions in developing it further. Which just won't happen.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the cell. But its time has passed. However, I see a real competitor for x86 in ARM. If ARM hardware keeps developing as fast as it did in the last years, it should be able to keep up very well against the big boys from Intel and AMD while using way less power. But I don't think we will be quite there with the PS5. I'm pretty certain though that we will not see a PS6 with x86, if we will see a PS6 at all.
And there you have it, the first rumour about the PS6! Only on vgchartz! =P
