Cell to Lead Appliance Evolution?

Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi has suggested that the Cell processor represents a new mindset that would change home appliances into computers.

It's no secret that Sony wants the PlayStation 3's Cell processor to be used across a wide range of applications outside of videogames. However, putting the powerful little chip into every daily household appliance isn't totally up to Sony.

In another piece of a multi-part interview with PC Impress Watch, Kutaragi explained that in order for the Cell processor to be successful outside of the PS3, there needs to be a paradigm shift among home appliance-makers.

it would be funny if the first appliance to use the cell was a george forman grill.

Bill Nye6520d ago

If so it would be capable of mass parallel grilling and would deliver 4D steaks and burgers. So delicioius.

LOL, sorry, I couldnt resist the urge. Hey have ya tried the george forman grill, I dont like it, food is a bit tasteless. Umm oh ok, on with the real post.
The cell is made more for things like appliances vs a gameing system, I do agree.

That is actually not even funny! Imagine if a kid is playing his PS3 in a couple of years and he's like " OH! HELL YEAH! The POWER of the CELL! IS making my bRaiN BlEeD!" then his mother is like " Wow honey the PS3 uses the power of the cell chip so does my vacuum and vibrator"

YES! HAHAHA I'm glad you dug that.

Introducing the NEEWWW "TaskMaster" 3000 Personal Massager. Featuring the POWER of the Cell Processing Unit The "Taskmaster" uses 2 SPE Units for sensual touch and reserved 1 SPE for 4 Dimensional Pleasure. With unparrelled physics you won't be able to tell the difference. How long till this totally off topic crap I just wrote gets deleted , I'll take bets.

Thats some funny shyt. dayum...yall is crazy up in here. SonyisGod has got to be crackin up. You can't be human and not find that hilarious. lol....

shotty6520d ago

It all started with the grill and getting a cell to function in that. Then you go out to the beach find a crab and attack it's weak point for massive damage, you then uses your ps3 controler to navagate your cell powered warkhawk to your house. Cook it on your ps3 umh i mean grill. Then utilizing real time weapon changing you alternate between a knife, fork and spoon and devour that crab knowing that you saved the world of crabs that once threaten the existance of the japanese according to real history. Oh and don't forget that once your done cooking you can pop in Riiidge Raceeer and don't forget to connect the psp or you can't see behind you.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
