Prospects For the CELL Microprocessor Beyond Games

News for nerds writes "The ISSCC 2005, the "Chip Olympics", is over and David T. Wang at Real World Technologies put a very objective review of the CELL processor (the slides for the briefing are also available), covering all the aspects disclosed at the conference. Besides the much touted 256 GFlops single-precision floating point performance the CELL processor has 25-30 GFlops in double-precision, which is useful enough for scientific computation. Linus seems interested in CELL, too."

If you're going to rip the links out of one of my Ars news posts and submit them to slashdot (in the same order in which I linked them, no less), then at least credit your source.
