I posted a bunch of articles in the past about the new 'Cell processor' developed by IBM, Sony, & Toshiba. Over the last couple of days more info has been released and Here's a link (PlayStation 3 chip has split personality)
Maybe Gorman could give us an intro on the inner workings of chip design and function. From what I read their breaking new ground in a production chip. If you got 4 of these things to work together it could theorrtically make the list of top 500 fastest super computers in the world. It should be a ton faster than current Pentium 4s... which makes me wonder how much is the PS3 gonna cost when it's released? Oh yea Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo will all be unveiling their next generation of consoles in a couple of months (Story here). The actual release dates range from late 2005 to early 2006 (which means Ed, Joe, and Alex will continue to kick my Ass in Madden for the foreseeable future).
Also here's a link to slashdot so you can read other Nerd's take on the Cell processor. (Slashdot: More Cell Processor Details)
