Guys the CEll processor can be highly customized the handle graphics, even better so than the PS3's sub-par built in Graphics Card, in fact the PS3 was originally going to be shipped without a Graphics Card due to this potential, but Sony decided otherwise shortly before the release of the PS3.  Here's a video of the Cell Processor running some basic graphics without any help from a GPU..

 

 

People really need to do their research before speaking as if they know whats going on.


There is a otherworldly difference between those graphics and those of Uncharted 3, if they wanted to have games looking like Call of Duty 2 for the entire PS3 generation, then they would have left out of the graphics card, why do you think they finally included it? They HAD to.

"Basically the Cell is more powerful than the CPU and GPU in the Xbox 360 combined", that's funny I've heard many developers say differently.

As a programmer and 3d Artist, I call bullshit on that article.  Please if you don't believe me, tweet to any PS3 exclusive developers, see if they could do what they're doing right now without the GPU.

I direct you to this video sir, Nuaghty Dogs OFFICIAL The Making of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves...

He says "At first we wanted to unload some of the pressure on the GPU by off loading some of the to work onto the cell processor...but we soon realized that the SPU was extremely good at that kind of rendering and we eventually ended up dong it entirely on the SPU do get much cleaner and much smoother graphics..."

 

Thank you, come again.
