The cell wasn't able to handle it, so I highly doubt it. On another note, there is something strange with WiiU that might make me buy it.


I honestly wonder where this line of thought comes from.

Somewhere along the line Sony fans were led to believe the cell was this super powerful thing that could do everything a GPU could do and more. As well as handle processing task at the same time.  There's a reason why GPUs do a lot of things better than processors. GPUs are even getting more floating point support than ever. Still obvious reasons why we need processors, but come the cell is not great. http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/stanford-nvidia-gpu-cuda-machine_learning,1-1104.html for those questioning GPU strength.
