I'm not sure how many processors the concept PS3 at E3 2005 have, but the Playstation 3 right now have 8 Cell Processors.
Not to sure chum.
No. Ps3 has one cell processor. It have 7spe's and one ppe. So if it had 4 cell in it at e3 05, it would own had 28 spe's and 4 ppe's. I judge it probably would have within the concept. The concept did have 6 usbs, 3 ethernet, and 2 hdmi. It be also alot slimmer with smaller number vents It is relatively possible, at one point the PS3's specification was dual cell processors running at 5Ghz and no GPU. The cell SPE's would be proficient of doing everything a GPU could, and faster.
We are probably lucky that the cost was too prohibitive, look at the problems "developers" are have already with vector programming and getting the power out of the cell without the RSX near would be far fewer games.
As to the cost, It would definately own exceeded $1000, especially at launch. The launch 60GB consoles were estimated to cost around $900 next to just the one Cell processor.
