| Trumpstyle said: a) You completely misunderstood what Mark Cerny is saying. He choose the Jaguar cpu for Ps4 pro because it will make all ps4 games run flawless and bugfree. b) But if he had used an zen cpu many titles would not work properly. I'll make a longer comment below. c) Anyone knows how I can just quote small part of texts and not the whole wall of text when I press the quote button? |
a) that is a troll answer
b) when the ps4pro apu was clogged together, there was no zen apu in sight, anywhere, anytime.
c) how would the editor know which parts of the text you want to keep?
Now, this thread has been derailed to maximum effect. The original content was "Cell or not in PS5".
The answer is pretty simple: There won't be a Cell in the PS5. That can easily be explained by the very purpose of the Cell design itself. It was designed with the idea of a (line of) cpu(s) with a (initially a single) core and several "helpers". Those helpers were designed to do auxiliary tasks at great speed, independent of and parallel to the fast core(s). Now, roughly a decade later, we have (after a rocky start) gpus that allow gpgpu tasks running concurrently within the gpu (and along the cpu, obviously). So there is no need at all anymore to have these little "Cell helpers" in a cpu, the gpu has those, and plenty more than any Cell could ever dream of. So a complex cpu design as the Cell is not needed at all anymore.
