Kotaku, citing Impress, is reporting today that Sony is considering not using the Cell architecture for the PlayStation 4, and instead moving to a multi-core CPU, one that will be easier to develop for than the Cell.
The source says the first alternative considered was an architecture based on the "Cell and Intel's Larrabee," which then moved to a "a modified version of the Synergistic Processor Unit," but both of those appear to have been abandoned.
We will keep you updated.
