crytek and epic havent brought something ground breaking since ages. 

Sure they did like Ryse: Son of Rome being a technical masterpiece and these unreal engine 4 demo's blow whatever Naughty Dog or Guerilla games are doing ...

The Cell CPU is a 3.2 Ghz CPU with 8 Threads/PPEs. Its in many ways stronegr than the Jaguar CPU. Look at the Last Guardian to see the fullest potential

The Cell is weak, the only time it ever even matches up against the Jaguar cores is cloth simulation or in other workloads with heavy crunching of vectors/matrices ...

No shared memory, poor branch handling, and a 256kB local store limit for SPUs all start adding up to a poor design for a CPU. Almost every modern x86 CPUs out there will run circles around the Cell processor including the disasterous AMD bulldozer ...

If the Cell was so strong why didn't Sony or their engineers opt for it on the PS4 ?

if you give the cell processor 1 single task like making the skin of the bird or the physics it should work like a breeze while the APU from the PS4 could do the rest 

According to Tachikoma, The last Guardian choked on the PS3 so how's that for a "breeze" ? 

It's pretty clear that your overrating the cell processor ...

Tech demos? lol. They dont make real games its self explenatory. Ryse son of rome looks worse than bloodborne, the order, imfamious, killzone, driveclub and knack. All these games look vissually more impressive or the engine is offering more stuff than Ryse.

Last guardian runs at 15 frames at worst with the cell the footage is showing, there is more than enough performance if you remove all the other stuff besides the birth or the leafs.

Sony removed it because third party devolopers are lazy. Games like MGS4 in 2008 looks better than the majority of gamnes coming out now for x86 systems and thgat game run on a cell.
