Bluestinger X Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 I think this cell term is being over hyped in the ps3.. its only getting around 4.7 ghz right? isnt there proccessors already in the works by amd that are getting those speeds? If the cell technology is such a big deal it sounds like the ps3 is getting the low point of it. soo every time i hear this term CELL all im hearing is hype hype.
Gryph Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 There's more to it than just clock speeds. Memory transfer is also a very big aspect of it.

If your an amd person, then an "overclocked 3800+ with crazy mad cooling." Intel is basically in the works to skip 4ghz altogether and just hit 5. Now let's see them get the cooling down and i'd actually start caring about them again.
Bluestinger X Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 HYPE I TELL U HYPE!!! its just like last time.. they were saying stuff like the ps2 could control guided missles and stuff. lol
Leathel Posted February 2, 2005 Author Posted February 2, 2005 HYPE I TELL U HYPE!!! its just like last time.. they were saying stuff like the ps2 could control guided missles and stuff. lol<{POST_SNAPBACK}> hah, i remember that, although technically it can with the right software and hardware support.
Gryph Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 /me flies back THE PAIN!! But yeah, those two words put me back in place when I start thinking this CELL could actually be THAT revolutionary. But you have to admit for being 300 mhz, the PS2 processor is quite advanced.
Agozer Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Hey gryph. Emotion Engine.But....but... it can do emoti[c]ons, right? Right?!
Gryph Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 If CELL is as hard to develop for as was Emotion Engine then forget about seeing really awesome crap for a while. You'll see basically what other consoles will provide.
iq_132 Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 If CELL is as hard to develop for as was Emotion Engine then forget about seeing really awesome crap for a while. You'll see basically what other consoles will provide. Exactly. Even if the hardware is kickass (like the sega saturn), there are great odds that if it's hard to program for (like the sega saturn) it will flop worse than John Kerry (like the sega saturn).

Then again, it WAS specficically optimized for just a few things. Rendering crap and crashing. iq, that was by far the 2nd greatest thing i've read today.
