Why Sony should also use a Cell Processor for PS5 (x86+Cell coprocessor)

Glhf getting worthwhile performance with that.

May work for legacy code base via peephole SO's from much slower systems with off the shelf ppc processors, but customized 64bit ppc with spe and ppe? Yeah not going to happen. 

Works fine. Just ask Intel when running ARM apps on it's x86 medfield processors.
Microsoft is also leveraging a similar approach to achieve backwards compatibility on the Xbox One. (Amongst other things.)

Thanks for the false equivalency, arm vs x86 is not the same thing as power vs x86, and you know damn well it isn't.

And microsoft knows this as well, that's why when you slap a 360 game into an xbox one it has to redownload the whole game that's been recompiled to work on the xbox one, rather than run it directly off of the disk.
