yet you know hybrid processor , as number crunching its the future right? IBM have the fastest super computer IBM roadrunner. it's made of clustered of cell processors.

in some gen they will have to jump up because multi core, multi spu, processor can have a clear perfomance advance over only multicore ones, hell the next xbox maybe a hybrid processor based.

Not really, the closest thing to a hybrid processor they will touch follows a GPU model anyway. The bread and butter X86 CPUs have very little to do with high performance computing, supercomputers and the like. Theres absolutely no reason to expect the next Xbox will follow the Cell path and they can always cross that bridge when they come to it. They probably have their hands full with DirectX 11 between compute shaders and tessellation.



Tease.
