These threads are funny. Ken Kuteragi showed a slide all the way back before the PS3 came out about how they expected to have a updated Cell for PS3 by 2012 - 2013. They should be using a Cell cluster on the PS4. It would be like having 4 of the PS3's cells on one chip. If Sony sticks to this plan, I think developers will love the PS4. I mean it would be nice for Sony to at least stick with the same programming once in the console history. I would be pissed if i had to relearn every 6 years how to programm.

In other news Sony plans to use a mirco cell in the next PSP. From documents created in 2005 my sources have learned that this new PSP Cell will have 1 core with 4 SPE's. Now go ahead and get that truth going around the internet. Oh and the next PSP is looking at a late 09 early 2010 release.

So, the devs for most of this gen dislike to work with such architecture, and if the PS4 comes with 4 of those, dev would love it??

Looks like you don´t know the pain of multithreading :S

 

Who says devs dislike the architecture? Devs at the beggining hated having to learn how to use it, but most have come to enjoy the possibilities it presents. In any case whether they like it or not the devs will have to live with multicore/ multithreading. The future of all CPU's is going in that direction.
