All big players in the console gaming industry, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are looking for better ways to meet with their customers’ needs. One of the companies rumored to be working on a new system, Sony is supposedly ditching the Cell architecture in their current PlayStation 3 in favor for a multi-core processor that will bring a bit more horsepower to those looking for a more challenging environment.
According to the Japanese from PCWatch one alternative would’ve been a combination between Cell and Intel’s new Larrabee chipset (that should be released in 2010 as the core of a consumer 3D graphics card), but Sony abandoned the idea and is now considering a more mainstream multi-core processor for the upcoming PlayStation 4.
Other than being a snappier setup the new design is also expected to make developing a lot more easier on the new console and promises to keep away from those “greater than average problems” that developers have reported until now.
Speaking of the upcoming PlayStation 4, the new console should be released either late 2012 or early 2013.
