Given that the CellBBE is faster at many things than the PS4 CPU, my reaction would be disbelief.

So PS3's Cell Broadband Engine is 4Ghz and the PS4's is 1.6Ghz? So I guess that's why Sony wasn't concentrating so much on BC, right?

CBBE in the ps3 ran at 3.2ghz, but comparing just operating speed numbers is the absolute most basic way of looking at it.

CBBE can handle specific computational processes faster than the PS4 can, thus emulating it , while essentially possible, would still result in a large portion of games running at a much slower speed, if they ran at all.

If the PS3 had been given a better GPU and more memory it would have easilly outperformed the 360, WiiU and likely given the Xbox One a run for it's money.

People seriously underestimate how good the CBBE really was, it was just nerfed in its implamentation because of the lowly RSX and split ram / low amount of ram.
