'PlayStation 4' May Not Include Cell Processor
Sony considering new options, report says.

December 28, 2009 - Sony's next gaming console may not include the much-heralded Cell architecture.

A report from Japanese outlet Impress Watch states Sony is considering several options for the design of the 'PlayStation 4,' including scrapping the Cell design entirely and moving towards a traditional XC(敏感字眼馬賽克處理) multi-core processor.

Tech writer Hiroshige Goto says Sony is also looking at a new, modified version of the Cell processor, and Intel's Larrabee chipset as possible candidates.
He also says that it seems unlikely we'll see a release of the 'PS4' until 2012 at the earliest, as it usually takes two years for a console to go from concept into full production.

While the PlayStation 3's Cell processor has its advantages over the competition, many third-party developers still seem to be having difficulty programming for it, as recently seen with SEGA's Bayonetta port.
Whatever they choose to do, though, it's refreshing to see Sony focusing on being more developer-friendly for the future.


個人看完新聞後的重點就是
Sony會朝傳統XC(敏感字眼馬賽克處理)多核心CPU架構的方式來設計PS4 CPU
另一個是大家都知道的問題
也就是最近Bayonetta[魔兵驚天錄]的開發與移植問題
多數第三廠開發遊戲時在Cell上遇到程式開發困難的問題
別再神話[頑皮狗]了
不是每個遊戲開發商都有那種時間跟心力去研究如何搞Cell最佳化
就算[頑皮狗]把程式碼全公開
多數第三廠還是不買帳
未來PS4會朝更友善的遊戲開發環境來努力就是了
至少Sony知道目前PS3的問題就好
希望Sony把PS4搞得更好 ...
