A Look Into The Cell Architecture

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the between-the-lines dept.

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."

    Another overly broad patent issued...

    Finally! A better processor!
    Maybe this will shut the apple zealots up.

    Besides the fact that this is a blatant dupe, anyone who takes this article seriously is as big a dickhead as the author.

    It's so full of shit and blatantly wrong that I don't know where to begin.

    Original poster and you appear to know exactly what Intel is doing in their research department and can guarantee that they have no line of research similar to the cell. Given that the ideas behind this has been incredibly well publicized, I doubt that.

    You and your faggot mac boyfriend also didn't address what benchmarks exist for a chip that doesn't even exist yet AND how those benchmarks would handle desktop applications - NOT FUCKING PS3 GAMES YOU JACKHOLE. go commit suicide.

    Give me a break. If the cell architecture proved to be so superior, Microsoft would quickly port Windows to it and continue to dominate. They are notoriously good at adapting to a changing technological landscape (open source is not a technology). Plus, Apple is not even a player in the high-end market. Macs are, and always have been, low-end personal computers. Only a doofus would migrate to macs just because a bunch of video games were suddenly made available for them.
