Sony/IBM/Toshiba: CELL Almost Ready

thryllkill writes "According to Gamespot the CELL processor, assumed to be the main processor for the Playstation3, is near completion. The short (and light) article also says that the chip will be used in IBM computers and Toshiba electronic devices. The CELL processor is significant because it is touted to utilize grid technology over broadband connections to make the graphics capabilities of the new Playstation many times greater than the competition."

It smacks of Intel-style media hype idiocy.

P1-MMX: Intel: "MMX makes the colors brighter!"
P2: Intel: "The P2 enables you to get onto the internet!"
P3: Intel: "The P3 makes the Internet faster!"
P4: Intel: "The P4 enables you to download mp3s from the internet and.. ermm.. press (!) them onto CD!"
