Yeah, it was a floating point beast. But only under the right circumstances. Being in Order and depending massively on perfect scheduling it could be extremely slow at the same time though. Even low cost Jaguar cores from five years ago can easily outperform Cell in most disciplines. And over ten years later, why should anyone need an outdated Cell for floating point related stuff if he can go for GPGPU? Doesn't make the slighest sense. |
Of course it doesn’t. Especially since both processor types use different sets of instructions. I was just trying to understand why the OP would even suggest such a thing. You’re also right that more and more processing, physics and even 3D sound will be done by highly versatile GPUs in the future.
