Thread: Cell Processor unveiled

  1. Cell Processor unveiled

    Cell Processor Unveiled
    >> From TeamXbox.com:
    Today, at the International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) held in San Francisco, IBM, Sony and Toshiba disclosed in detail, for the first time, the breakthrough multi-core architectural design - featuring supercomputer-like floating point performance with observed clock speeds greater than 4 GHz - of their jointly developed microprocessor code-named Cell.

    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.
    Among the highlights of Cell released today:
    * Cell is a breakthrough architectural design -- featuring eight synergistic processors and top clock speeds of greater than 4 GHz (as measured during initial hardware testing)
    * Cell is a multicore chip capable of massive floating point processing
    * Cell is OS neutral and supports multiple operating systems simultaneously

    The Cell Processor technology will be used in the Playstation3 and probably many other future multimedia devices and computers.

  2. Bla, bla, bla...

    Show me a game that uses this thing. That's all I care about.

    Nice to see that it's finally finished.

  3. Very cool, though I doubt the PS3 will be getting a 4GHz version, unless Sony is marketing it as a multimedia heater,

  4. im wondering why these havnt been annouced for the pc. with both Intel and AMD going for the dual core cpu's in the next cycle.

    Give it a year, and I would be surprised if someone doesn't pick it up for that market. Apple take note.

  6. "featuring eight synergistic processors"

    Great word.

  7. I guess it's more than the sum of its parts.

    IBM is putting it in their workstations.
    Buy Yakuza and Oblivion. Help yourself, help TNL.

    what workstations? They sold off that division last year to a chinese company.
