If the PS4 GPU is so strong why cant it give me 60fps?

It can. Developers just choose not to.

And i am pretty sure people would rather have Cell processor that also gives full BC than some SSD cache.

Where is the poll? Put your money where your mouth is.

Ruler said:

just the PS3s RSX GPU would have done better too than the Cell.

RSX doesn't hold a candle to a more compute-centric GPU architecture like GCN.

Ruler said:

Cell pretty much trumps the Jaguar.

No.

Ruler said:

XDR2 is the fastest Ram available that would be another plus and also necessary in order to even run the Cell processor.

No.

Ruler said:

But it is better than a Jaguar. A single GPU at 3.2Ghz will run better in a lot of situations than an 8 core CPU running at 1.6Ghz.

On PC you can pretty much run most PS4 and XBox One games with the same performance on a Pentium

No.

Why are we even having this discussion? It's almost 2018. The Playstation 3 is dead, the Cell is dead. They are old, slow, outdated.

The Cell was never a high-end CPU to begin with, sure once you delved into iterative refinement it could come into it's own... But outside of that, the Cell was nothing impressive, even 10 years ago.
The Cell was designed to provide adequate performance for a low cost, perfect for a console.

lol, I love it when people think just because a CPU from over a decade ago is better just because it says 3.2 GHz over 1.6 GHz.

 I would say I expect better of this forum after all this time of tech-orientated based threads/posts dating back years... But then a poster comes along and destroys that fantasy.

Not me. I'd much rather have the SSD cache since load times are going to be atrocious next gen without at least some SSD cache. Can you imagine the load times next gen with a standard hard drive when all games have 4K textures, when the load times right now already exceed 90 seconds in some games? We could be looking at 2-3 minute load times in open world games without SSD cache.

Jaguar is superior to Cell. Especially in Integers... Jaguar was AMD's worst CPU during a time when they had the industries worst CPU lineup.
So it goes without saying that any successor to Jaguar is going to be a rather large increase... And by default is what we will have in next-gen anyway.

So I concur. I would rather an SSD Cache... A nice big chunk of SLC NAND please.
