A Look Into The Cell Architecture

ball-lightning writes "This article attempts to decipher the patent filed by the STI group (IBM, Sony, and Toshiba) on their upcoming Cell technology (most notably going to be used in the PS3). If it's as good as this article claims, the Cell chip could eventually take over the PC market."

Okay, who was down for Timothy on Saturday night for the /. Dupe Pool?

We've even seen triple-dupes.

"Tripes," you mean? Yeah, we've seen a lot of tripe here at Slashdot, all right.

Did you intend this post to clash humorously with your sig? Because it does.

x86 won't be around for 100 years.... No way. That would be too limiting. With recent advances in optical storage (I don't mean bluray, I mean optical "chips" that resemble star treks Isolinear technology) x86 won't be able to keep up.

Hell, if Intel's processors get any warmer, I'm going to get the gas cut off and let the computer warm the house.

We need to advance to 64, or 128 bit technology to be able to keep up with other technologies. Cell seems like a logical next step after reading this post a few days ago (hehe dupes) I see alot of advantages. Can you imagine if your bittorrent client could use one or two APU's and leave the others for other tasks. You could manage alot more connections without slowing down the computer....

"x86 is dead and mobile devices wrote the eulogy."

Until my mobile devices can play Wing Commander, you're full of shit.
