Ars Technica's Hannibal on IBM's Cell

Posted by timothy on from the different-approach dept.

endersdouble writes "Ars Technica's Jon "Hannibal" Stokes, known for his many articles on CPU technology, has posted a new article on IBM's new Cell processor. This one is the first part of a series, and covers the processor's approach to caching and control logic. Good read."

    Thank god. I've enjoyed his articles in the past, and if experience is any indication, I will have the false impression that I understand this stuff in a nontrivial way for up to three hours. This is not meant to rag on Hannibal, BTW.

    WIth a name like that, I expect to see pictures of him eating those Cell processors, and describing how they taste.
