Quote: Hi Folks, please have a look:
This looks like a very good CPU, greatly suited for a mid-range laptop, if the price is right it would prove to be one great solution for PowerPC lovers! Plus it has Altivec :-)MPC8610: Integrated Host Processor Let us know what you think...;) R&B :) Konstantinos |

Well, according to someAny more thoughts on any of this? Please post. We might end up building a CELL reference design?! :D We would have never thought that... Thanks! R&B :) http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20 ... ation.html Cell is here to stay for a long time and play an important role in media processing and high-performance computing. With the backs of IBM, Sony, Mercury, etc, I would consider it a very wise decision to jump onto the Cell boat and make money out of it. But again, mid-range is missing, only low-end (if you consider the performance of the PS3 low-end :-), and high-end systems are available with the Cell CPU. The PS3 is unsuitable as a development system, as well as the 1U servers and blades from SONY/IBM. AFAIK, only MC produces Cell workstations, but these are again in the high end region. I would think anyone who would produce mid-range Cell workstations with pretty much standard peripherals (SATA, USB2, etc) would find a nice niche market to profit upon :-) Konstantinos |
