PS4の存在をIBMが明かす?


IBM have not stopped Cell processor development−driverheaven

The cell processor has been a very successful part of the Playstation 3, able to munch through folding@home as well as the latest HD game demands. There have been many rumours around the net today that the followup to the CPU in the PS3 has been basically 'canned'. The story was that the new Cell Processor which featured two PowerPC processors and 32 SPEs will not be released and that possibly the whole range was going to be discontinued.

We managed to get hold of an IBM spokesperson an hour ago and they said that only one CPU development cycle is being 'halted' which is the successor to the current PowerXCell-8i cpu. IBM have said they are planning to work on other CPU's in the Cell Processor 'family' and we would assume that by the time the Playstation 4 hits market that they could very well be involved on some level.


IBMはCellから撤退?!的な噂を同社が否定した際、PS4にはCellが関与していると明かした模様です。PS4にもCellが載ると考えれば、PS3で培ったノウハウが活かせるということですから、次次世代ではPS有利な展開が期待できそうですね。
