Cell Workstations in 2005

Posted by michael on from the it-slices-it-dices dept.

yerdaddie writes "The cell processor will be introduced in graphics workstations before release in the Playstation 3, according to press releases by IBM and Sony. As previously discussed, IBM will be releasing more details in February 2005. However, apparently prototype workstations have already been "powered-on" and will be available in 2005. Since Windows on PPC was scrapped back in 1997, this leads to speculation that perhaps Linux, AIX, or BSD will be the operating system for cell workstations."

    All this means to me is that I have to pay more every single time I drop my damned phone and break it. Which happens a lot. Cell phone companies need to stop adding stupid features and figure out how to make their phones out of steel and concrete.
