if you dont belive (like your usual way) ask to him if im not true

... yes .. the cell... was not good processor and for sure was not good for gaming ...i know ... just say this to all the games devs who make masterpiece for ps3..

just for remember some :God of war , heavy Rain, Uncharted , kill zone, resistance, the last of us ... etc .. etc ..

some comparisons
tomb raider

uncharted

Call of duty

Why have a half baked CPU aka SPE with dissimilar host PPE CPU when AMD has symmetric 8 core Jaguar CPUs with out-of-order processing?

How could IBM compete against AMD's 2-for-1 CPU+GPU combo deal?

Using "uncharted" as a hardware performance comparison title is flawed since you haven't factored out the art work subjective differences.

Tomb Raider Xbox 360 vs PS3
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-tomb-raider-face-off

Both console games dip from their target frame-rates, but it's clear that the Xbox 360 version holds on more tightly to its target update



Call of Duty Ghost Xbox 360 vs PS3
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-call-of-duty-ghosts-face-off

[i]Xbox 360 owners are in familiar territory with an approximate 1024x600 framebuffer favoured by the developer's previous Call of Duty titles, while the PS3 version features a considerably murkier presentation more closely matching that of Black Ops 2, with native resolution coming in at just 860x600, resulting a soft-focused image[i]

Xbox 360 has higher resolution when compared to PS3's version.

better explain my point
for what is the game industry of today you can have the same games of ps4 on a ps3 with a modern gpu ... stop

for all the new gaming titles of today you dont see nothing that can make you scream to the new generation...
probably from the "the division" and "Doom 4" we will see starting someting more modern.

about this

Who cares when Sony didn't reuse PS3's CELL for their PS4. stop.


8 core AMD Jaguar solution doesn't have the complexity of dissimilar codebase between PPE and SPE. The main point for 8 core AMD Jaguar solution is to reduce programming difficulties from CELL.


There's very little need for CELL's SPEs when PS4's AMD GCN has 8 ACE units AND a scalar processor for each GCN CU. Refer to my GDC 2014 benchmark.
Resource binding on AMD GCN is CPU like.

The story for the failed AMD and NVIDIA fusion is due to NVidia's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang wanted to be the new CEO for the combined entity.

For any NVIDIA purchase, the buyer must accept Jen-Hsun Huang as the new CEO. Also, NVIDIA Kelper is an aging GPU design when compared to similar era XBO (AMD Bonaire) and PS4 GPU (8 ACE units similar to AMD Hawaii/Fury).

AMD Bonaire (GCN 1.1) has DirectX12 Feature Level 12_0 while NVIDIA Kelper has DirectX12 Feature Level 11_0.




Sorry, Sony doesn't want another PS3 i.e. IBM CELL + NVIDIA Kelper GK106 (area size is about 221mm^2)


PS4's IGP area size is about 212 mm^2 based from AMD Pitcairn GCN.

AMD mentioned two incoming SoC/APU solutions i.e. one SoC is X86-64 based and other SoC is latest ARM based. My point, IBM licensing cost must match ARM.

Exactly. However I've to say that P4's (micro)architecture was designed to scale in frequency, which wasn't the case of the early models.

The NetBurst (micro)architecture started to show good numbers only when frequency increased considerably, according to the project's design.

Talk is cheap. YOU made the statement, and you reported nothing, even to explain what you wanted to say (which is totally unclear). And you continue to just talk, failing to change the cards on table.

According to the scientific methodology, the burden of the proof is to who made the statement. In short: YOU.

On average the XBox360 shown better graphic compared to the PS3, on multiplatform titles of course.

Even a Sony's franchise, Ghostbusters, shown it. I've written an article about it, years ago.

It's perfectly futile trying to change the cards again. I never stated that you cannot say your point of view.

I just reported some technical facts in response to your previous comment, and I added not a single word to start flaming.

On the contrary, YOU replied me writing this:

"dont make your troll way like your usual"

which is a clear tentative of trolling against me, since there was absolutely nothing that allowed such reaction.

This isn't your forum, where you troll and protect all other trolls. You have to follow the rules and respect other users.

If you don't like what other people says, the solution is quite simple: IGNORE them.

@tlosm: blah blah blah.

The FACT is that YOU replied with this:

"dont make your troll way like your usual"

to a simple comment which reported some technical stuff.

Trying to change the cards on the table is perfectly not useful, and clearly shows your tentative of trolling against me.

For me there's no problem: click the button and signal my comments, if you think that you're right.

The clear sequence of comments will show to moderators who is right.

@tlosm: why don't you click the Report button, and stop trolling, polluting the thread?

Don't you trust the moderators of this forum? Or don't you trust on what you've written?

If you're right, you just have to click a simple button. Easy...

@Sky7

Looks like you've been waiting a long time for an answer. The simple explanation is that they needed to move because the 68K was too slow and not available anymore. It must have been around 2002 they started porting to PPC. PPC got a heads up because they already had PPC cards. It was the next big thing. And it was already introduced to the Amiga. OS4 was developed an Amigas with PPC cards. Yes this did oust 68K only members of the Amiga community but the CPU was just too slow at that time. And by that stage Motorola had killed off the 88K follow up in favour of PPC. The average computer was almost running at 1Ghz back then. A top of the range CPU that averaged 50Mhz just could not cut. Run OS4 on a real Amiga and you would see how it was too slow even with a faster PPC.
