so is it still more powerful than modern desktop CPU's?

it's powerful enough to control your moms massive dildo

>>106011159 (OP)
it never war.
So confused by your post OP?
It was good at specific math is all.

Roughly equivalent to a 2+7 core 3.2Ghz PowerPC in terms of cpu
So pretty much nope

This, cell was dead by 2010

>>106011159 (OP)
iirc it was hyped just because of number of cores and some shit like vector instructions

>>106011159 (OP)
I think a low-end first gen Ryzen is already faster than the Cell, and so are most of the old Intel 4 cores from the Haswell+ era.

No, a *single* Zen 5 core is up to 1900 gflops using all AVX pipes for single precision FMA. All the SPEs combined were only ~205 gflops. And you don't have to do any DMA, mailboxing or threading to 10x it.

no, properly optimized i believe it was a bit faster than a desktop sandy bridge for some workloads, but absolute garbage for most things even in 2006.

>>106011159 (OP)
yeah it's more powerful than any chip you can buy

>>106011402
Bullshit. It was relevant until 2017

>>106011159 (OP)
No.
