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. 

I know I shouldn't be but I'm still surprised by your lack of basic technological understanding. Well, they do say hate comes from ignorance, so that explains a lot.

We do have a lot of people on VGC who are really knowledgeable in this stuff. Instead of fighting them you should consult them first before doing threads like these.

Cell is totally outeated. It was only floating point heavy and the floating point heavy stuff is done on GPU's today.

Sure. While they are at it, they should use one with 64 SPEs. The PlayStation 64. It won't be a real 64 console cause the Cell is 32 bits. Unless you use Jaguar logic.

Sony has failed their initial goal with the Cell. So they will never go back to it.

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.)

BC and ease of development is going to be more important than better tech. Sony won't make that silly mistake again.

I disagree. Should be close to PC structure so that all dev tools work well. Exclusive games are the key to succeess, just like Ps4 and Switch show.

Not agreeing with anything OP says but it is true Sony originally planned for the PS3 to have a second cell instead of a GPU. The Nvidia GPU was a fairly late addition to the machine before release.

If i remember rivht, Cell was originally intended to do real time raytracing instead of rasterizing. PS3 would have been an sd console that way though.
With the improvements in rasterzing that happened at that time and Microsofts HD approach the original concept seemed pretty outdated though.
