Wasn't there a rumor that PS4 would have a cell processor and nvidia gpu?


Not that I know of. Plus Sony and IBM have sold off and closed off cell. Its gone. Ps4 rumors have all centered on AMD fusion APU solutions so far.

Well, I am not sure about it either. Googling it I found this:

Ahhhh I remember that one now... forgot it, as originally it was laughed and tossed out as completely bogus right away. I mean jesus... 20GB of memory??? Maybe 6GB and more realistically 4GB... but 20??? Sorry man, that is a huge fanboy created fake.


There was an entire thread about that rumor, and it was basically trounced when it first reared it head. Since both IBM and Sony have all but abandoned the Cell. The last Cell Processor released was the PowerXCell 8i and it was put into IBM's blade servers in 2008. If I remember correctly the tech behind the Cell BE was basically caniblized to help further the developement of CPUs such as the e6500 series and Intel version of the processor.
