In reply to Guest. thats becuase it hasnt bin used before, now it can be used on consoles itll be used on PC, GPGPU was really before used to accelerate video editing, transcoding etc, accelerate Adobe programs like rendering etc... it is quite powerful so if they can harness the unused parts of a GPU then its all good

In reply to Psionicinversion. Except GPGPU support on PCs is spotty at best.

In reply to Kevin Kirby. Cell is much weaker than any modern CPU. PS4's CPU isn't weak.

So the weak slow clocked PS4 CPU can match what a 8 year old Cell can great we can clearly see how weak the CPU in the PS4 is now.

The trick will be defining what processes are good for Compute shaders to take over. Mastering Compute on the PS4 will be similar to mastering CELL on the PS3, but it has the advantage of being a technology that is valid for all current platforms. http://sn.im/28ux95m
