| HappySqurriel said: Back in the day, I remember reading an interview with someone from IBM who (basically) stated that they were not focused on giving the Cell processor the best performance for games because Sony wanted the Cell processor to be used in everything from MP3 players to their top of the line TVs ... To a certain extent, this was part of the reason there was the early (moronic) talk from Sony about being able to take advantage of multiple Cell processors from various devices to boost ingame performance. For me, the only surprise of this is that it has taken so long to see more devices taking advantage of the Cell processor. |
A general purpose embbeded X86 processor makes way more sense in a TV or set top box. Having something that's so hard to program makes no sense at all. Toshiba and Sony never thought it all through properly. They believed so much that the PS3 would rule them all that they had no back up plan.
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
