How does the Cell compare to CPU's of today, is it actually on par or better or has it been surpassed long ago?

(I haven't been keeping up with the tech news lately...)


You can't really compare them, they are for different things, a Cell behaves a lot more like a GPU, if that makes any sense.

So like people mentioned early why doesn't Sony eliminate the GPU and put two Cell processors in the PS4 like they originally were going to do? Surely the Cell is cheaper now to get good benifits out of it.

Like I posted before, modern GPGPU makes it irrelevant, 2 Cells can't hope to compete with something like the Wii U even.


umm, no, but hey, why not post.

Someone actually posted the correct answer, so I'll just let you work it out on your own.


You know we are speaking on terms of video games and not general purpose computing right?
