B.Ob. Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Sony and IBM Cell technology emerges "The WSJ outlines the purpose of the Cell processor, mentioning that the aim of the chip is to help break the Microsoft / Intel dominance of computing architectures, and to prevent it from extending into the living room. The chip is, of course, at the heart of one box that is sure to make a big entrance into the lounge later this year - the PlayStation 3." New 'Supercomputer on a Chip' Makes Debut "Dubbed a "supercomputer on a chip," the Cell microprocessor has until now been long on ambition but short on specifics. At a technical conference in San Francisco, the three electronics giants described a chip that could provide ten times the performance of the latest PC chips and churn through many tasks at once."
