IBM Have Not Stopped Cell Development

You may have heard the rumors circulating that IBM had stopped Cell development, and it was therefore a failure. Well that was wrong.

hmmm maybe it wasn't such a failure after all xbox fans...

LiquifiedArt5683d ago

Some quality journalism.

Extracts exactly WHAT is being halted. News is 90% idiotic and 10% informative.

This is in the 10%.

PLAYSTATION 3 IS TEH DOOOOMMMED!!!!

evrfighter5683d ago

Interesting. It's very rare that Sony has to reach into their pockets.

Trebius5683d ago

All the 360 fools that were dancing about cheering for the end of the cell are now avoiding this thread like the plague.

They really have no clue what they're talking about...

I hope they all feel like idiots after posting the shlt they did on the last thread.

This is funny.

"IBM Have Not Stopped Cell Development"

Yeah right, like I've written in one of my last comment
three days ago. ;)

"The cell is dead in the Water" --- TheSixthAxis

What a lame site.

"The PS3 is outdated!!! it should use 4G RAM and an ATI HD 5970 since day one!!!" --- Nut PC fanatics.

Who the hell started this rumor anyway?

Now this got me excited:

"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."

Cell 2 for the PS4???

Christopher5683d ago (Edited 5683d ago )

All that was said was that a specific cell processor design was dead in the water, not all cell processor designs.

I'm still confused how they can call the processor slow in the previous article considering the amount of bandwith for data transfer between the cells and their ability to perform real-time processing faster than other chipsets.

ico925683d ago (Edited 5683d ago )

thats great, i was just looking at the previous article about ibm supposedly halting cell development and LMFAO at all the fanboy comments saying the ps3 was dooommedd

OtherWhiteMeat5683d ago (Edited 5683d ago )

I'm going to song the "Doom Song" ........links not working , sorry

beardpapa5683d ago

People are clearly interested in this article. But alas... because it's not from TheSixthAxis and because it's not another PS3 doomed article, it's merely stuck at 280 degrees. Will we ever see this one get the high marks and pop up at the top of the N4G page?

Until next time...

Anon19745683d ago (Edited 5683d ago )

Did you see the other article, with all the usual Xbox 360 mouth-pieces clapping their flippers together like trained seals and acting that "that must mean the PS3 is also a failure!" at the news? Makes me feel ashamed to admit I'm a 360 owner sometimes, just because I don't ever want to be associated with that type of element.

All I could do was shake my head in disbelief at the level of ignorance on display.

PS3PCFTW5683d ago

xbox fans have just gotten their wet dreams eradicated.

i dont understand all the hate towards the ps3 architecture.

I mean, all the 360 fans said that the 360 has better ram/ cpu/ and a much better gpu than the ps3.

i guess thats why uncharted 2 looks the way it does and 360 has nothing to match that caliber of quality and presentation.

hmmm sony looks well poised to own this gen too. history is repeating itself as we speak

mal_tez925683d ago

That an updated PS3 processor will go into the PS4. It will be more powerful, but work in the same way; so all knowledge and experience gained by developers from working on the PS3 will go directly to skill with the PS4. The more powerful chip as well as more RAM and a better graphics card (also possibly a new optical drive) will mean the PS4 will have high quality games right away, not having to wait a year after release to see awesome games like Drake's Fortune.

I hope this is true, but it was like 3 months ago when I heard it and I can;t remember where.

zeeshan5683d ago

Sony FTW :) The company surely knows what it is doing and what the future holds for us the gamers.

Pennywise5683d ago

They are working on the next gen cell.

Dutch Boogie5683d ago

True. Just like what i said in the recent article 3 days ago:

"Yeah you'd want that wouldn't you turd (360) lover. Sony can just hire IBM to produce a restructured cell processor as a side project for the ps4. Sony wouldn't stand aside and just watch a hea;thy investment go to waste.

The fact that they incorporated the cell into the ps3 now gives them the advantage of refining it and using an advanced (yet cheap) version for the ps4.

This means developers that have been able to master the cell this gen will have a good knowledge of how to program for it. Now this is the fun part. Because developers will have a knowledgeable understanding of it's infrastructure, we should start seeing next gen (ps4) launch games at a much higher quality than we did the ps3 launch right of the bat.

Now go troll >>>>"

Pennywise5683d ago

Yep... for the dummies to believe that IBM would stop all iterations of the most powerful number crunching processor ever is just plain dumb.

First gen cell chip is breaking barriers... I can't wait to see what comes of this technology.

Microsoft will send an X-bot into the past, to try to terminate Ken Kutaragi and prevent the development of the Cell. The Sony Librated Gamers will send a TimeSplitter soldier into the past to try and stop the X-bot.

Godmars2905683d ago

You mean Sony will send a monkey.

A flaming monkey...

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

Venoxn4g1h ago

Love both games, hope that we will get third game

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga11h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis0073h ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein9h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

Switch 2 accessory makers are “working hard” on magnetic analogue sticks to combat stick drift

Nintendo Switch 2 stick drift is already an issue, but accessory makers are already working on magnetic joysticks.

I've never had stick drift in any controller I've ever owned. All my joycons (3 sets) from my Switch are perfectly fine. My Switch 2 ones are good. Never had a dualshock / dualsense have it (did have a dualshock get a stuck trigger once). Even my Valve Index controllers which were notorious for drift were fine for me.

Goodguy013d ago

Varies. Just because you've never had one doesn't mean others won't. I've had PS, Xbox, and Nintendo controllers indeed drift on me. Remember the drift lawsuits that Nintendo has had.

Please stop trying to say that traditional potentiometers are absolutely fine when hall effect/tmr sticks are beyond superior lol, not sure why so many people keep trying to defend potentiometers when hall effects are so pro consumer.
Companies like nintendo, sony, and mcsft don't want to implement them simply because they want you the consumer to keep buying them. Most casuals will just buy a new controller if theirs difts, easy money for the big 3.
I've gone hall effects and have never gone back, can leave my controllers out absolutely fine without worry of dust ruining the sticks.

Neonridr3d ago

when did I say that traditional joysticks are absolutely fine? I'm sharing my own experience here. I never said that others don't experience issues, nor that this is somehow acceptable. Strange leapfrog from A to B on that one.

People love to say it's a huge widespread issue, yet you only hear about it because the minority is vocal whereas the majority don't report anything because they are fine.

I'm happy you switched to hall effect sticks, if that's what works for you, then awesome.

Christopher3d ago

Cool? Pretty sure this is for those who are having it happen. Not sure how your anecdote addresses other peoples' problems.

Neonridr3d ago

people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will.

Pyrofire952d ago

lucky you. I've only had minor drift once in my L Joycon which I fixed with some card stock, but drift is an undeniable problem as a whole.

repsahj2d ago

My 2 sets of Joy-Cons from my OG Switch started to drift with just a month of use. That is why I bought Dobe Joy-Cons with just $25, and until now they are still fine. I hope this will never happen again on my Switch 2.

jznrpg2d ago

My left joy con for the OG Switch got stick drift right away as well. I never had issues with my PS5 controllers since launch until I got my kids PS5’s and they had stick drift with 2 controllers. They drop them because they are kids and although I have them wash their hands before gaming they still get gunk under them somehow. I got their controllers modded because they would have issues no matter what I have them do.

jambola1d 18h ago

"people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will."
no, nobody is acting like that, you're jsut exaggerating it and lying to downplay a problem

The tech is already there. I had a couple of my PS5 controllers modded with Hall Effect modules and they work great. They should come standard with them these days but they don’t.

OtterX2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Nyxi already made some fantastic Hall Effect controllers for Switch 1. I don't know why Nintendo couldn't have it by now if Nyxi has had for years.

spoonard2d ago

Cheap, frictionless sensors ALREADY exist. Why are they "working hard to combat stick drift"? Stick drift should be a thing of the past at this point. The technology is here...NOW. It has been...for YEARS! Why is stick drift even still spoken about? It shouldn't exist!

Chocoburger2d ago

Because its a scam for Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft to sell more overpriced controllers.

jambola1d 18h ago

because pathetic fanboys will continue to defend and support

Doomeduk1d 15h ago (Edited 1d 15h ago )

WD 40 if it's shagg.d anyway why not ? I ordered a new ps5 pad after Helldivers 2 and POE 2 became unplayable due to drift but in the meantime I fired a bit of WD on my balls just below my stick rotated in a clockwise fashion massaging it in so to speak and also did the pin reset thingy and all clean no drift and hit that cancel purchase button like I meant it

UltimateOwnage1d 14h ago

Honestly I’ve used my original Switch JoyCons and Pro Controller since launch and only in the last year did I see drift start to show up on one of my JoyCons. I’m sure it happens depending on how much and how firm the joystick is used, but it seems like a minor issue that goes with wear and tear after thousands of hours of play. I wish there had been Hall Effect sticks on Switch 2 just so there’s one less thing to worry about, but I’m not really concerned about it.
