Playstation 4 with no buit-up Cell processor

Sony plans to launch Playstation 4 in 2010 and this rumor has also spread in some game addicted talk. Even though there is no detail information from Sony about the time of launching, but no doubt that 2010 will be the year of PS4 to hit the world. Now, this new game console is still in concept process, however, it needs at least 2 years for a console to go from concept into production.

Latest news from Sony about this new game console is about this console’s Cell. Sony used PowerPC-base Core for Playstation 3 and now Sony plans to move forwards to a traditional PC multi-core processor. This may because of the difficulties gotten by third party to design a right Cell processor for Playstation 4.

It might be Intel Larrabee or other Cell processors but no detail yet about the developer and the Cell processor for Playstation 4. With the plan to have a new processor, it may be an advantage for developers to be apart of Playstation 4. It is also being good news when Sony can be more developer-friendly by involving a third party to design the Cell processor in the future.
