Default the pc will soon be dead, long live the cell.

Just reading about the cell cpu for the next Playstation core. Ok, games machine you think. No - one single cell (you can have several on one chip) run at 4.6 GHz and match a cray supercomputer. These things can do a Petaflop !!!!!



Read about it here As qouted "This system isn't just going to rock, it's going to play German heavy metal."

Looks good.

But Cray's are old hat, you want an NEC. "Mine" is fairly quick, but you can't play Halo on it.

Happens everytime a new console is about to come out.

The PR machine roles into action. Don't believe the hype!

rather fitting that Sony, Toshiba & IBM are collectively calling themselves STI...

Wonder what Microsoft have got in store to rival it? Read somewhere that nVidia have signed a deal to do the graphics for PS3 - so does mean MS will be switching to ATI?
