- gigatexal 8y agoOh yeah it took what 8 years to get decent ps3 games?
- rbanffy 8y agoI don't think that's even needed. I just assume what you'll see from inside the program is some resources connected to some sort of very fast interconnect. It's nowhere near what Cell was - a really bad barrel-like PPC core that had to manage DMA to feed a bunch of marginally-smarter-than-DSP cores (with an incompatible ISA, obviously) that had no access to the main memory.
- garmaine 8y agoPointing to one example of someone failing to do something in the past is not strong evidence it won’t happen this time. If anything there was lessons learned from that failure.
- gigatexal 8y agoThat’s very true, too.
