Don't get me wrong though the Cell was an absolute mess, coupled with the expensive BR disk nearly killed the PS3. Glad they are going back to a simpler way of design. |
People still want to BS.
The difference is as SCE was extolling the virtues of the Cell to consumers, muti-platform developers were saying "WTF" when it came to optimization. Let's face it; the only developers who really milked the benefits of the architecture were exclusively developing for the PS3.
With the PS4, SCE is hardly going off on the magical power of GDDR5; it's the developers who are more than happy to have the wider bandwidth and I'm sure will also be more than happy to have access to more of it over time, if not already.
So if we can just stop with the 5GB of GDDR3 RAM is good enough forever that would be fantastic.
