actually he is correct

Of these eight SPEs one is a spare - put in there in case manufacturing problems or wear and tear breaks one - with PS3's Cell only using seven of these separate cores at any one time.

KNiVES · 1 Jul 2007 at 19:48

I thought the eighth one was reserved only for the XMB ?

lol, if you cpu dies i doubt its going to be just the one core hey?

Logsi · 1 Jul 2007 at 19:51

I always thought they disabled one core totally to have better yield rate.

heh that is brilliant and i could only be arsed to watch the first minute or so.

I love the bit about the 8 SPE's with one being there just in case one of the others breaks. hahaha. genius, pure genius. Here was me thinking it was because Sony couldn't get high enough yields of cells with 8 cores so downgraded the specs to a 7 core so they could push more out the door.

EDIT: Beaten too it, but yeah, you are corect, it was for yield purposes. Most PS3s bought early on won't have a functioning 8th SPE.

EDIT2: I'm pretty sure the 7th is saved for the XMB but can be used through some trickery with the programming if needs be. Thats 6 SPE's for games or whatever, 1 for the XMB and 1 because the yield's with 8 functioning were so **** to begin with.

Wow, what a joke

:edit: LOL 3rd generation of gaming?! What a complete twonk.
