One of the most gossiped-about and eagerly awaited technologies of 2005 is a powerful microprocessor called Cell. Produced by a consortium of Sony, Toshiba and IBM, Cell will be the brains of the next-generation Sony PlayStation 3, due out in 2006. If its builders' advance hype is right, Cell promises a new era of graphics-rich computers, as well as TVsets and home theaters capable of processing and moving large volumes of high-definition content. "Cell will make possible a transformation in entertainment like that from novels to movies.
Essentially a supercomputer on a chip, the Cell microprocessor is expected to transform consumer electronics and digital entertainment.
Cell's breakthrough multi-core architecture and ultra high-speed communications capabilities deliver vastly improved, real-time response for entertainment and rich media applications, in many cases 10 times the performance of the latest PC processors.
A single Cell chip is expected to be capable of surpassing 250 billion floating point operations, or 250 gigaflops, per second, rivaling the best mid-1990s supercomputer. In flops, it is six times as fast as Nvidia's new graphics chip.
Kaj več v prihodnjih mesecih in upam, da bo zadeva že prikazan na največjem sejmu zabavne elektronike E3 Los Angeles v maju, kjer bom od brata lahko posredoval exlusivne slike, iz prve roke.
prvi deležen PS3.
