An even more powerful chip than the current Cell. The PS4 will be amazing. Also, is "100% backwards compatible" related to backwards compatibility with PS1, PS2, and PS3 games, or is it a reference to something else? Wow. An even more powerful chip than the current Cell.

Also, is “100% backwards compatible” related to backwards compatibility with PS1, PS2, and PS3 games, or is it a reference to something else?

This way one of the SPE's can be a graphics processor, another a physic processor, etc. That would make a bas a$$ chip. I think AMD would come out ahead, if IBM doesn't plan this for the future of cell processors. The chip will have to have support disparate SPE’s to be a true gaming chip like AMD’s future plans.
