Hopewell Junction (NY) - In his first in-depth interview since releasing the version 1.0 specification for IBM's Cell microprocessor last week, the principal developer of the CPU's innovative new synergistic processor elements (SPE) tells Tom's Hardware Guide he sees Sony's PlayStation 3 - the first major platform to utilize Cell - as the driver for a new general-purpose programming environment, using Linux but bypassing the PC.

Actually millions of fucking asswipes dump more money into churches to try to get their asses into heaven. What a waste

4 - correction to your correction

I take your comment into offense. For Christians doesn't take money to get to heaven; it takes good hard work. Only idiots think money gets them to heaven. The money is to support the chuch. It's not a waste of time, if your a Christian, to go to church. Watch what you say about a subject so controversial. (nothing is meant to be offensive.)

The PS3's cell processor is going to be awesome!!

I agree with the guy before me. Watch what you say, Especially when it concerns God, Jesus, Heaven or Christians. Besides, Heaven if free for anyone who is willing to make that surrender. Money just helps buy supplies to reach out to others. To trumpeter, Thanks for making a stand, Alot of people wouldnt have done that for fear of being made fun of. I respect that more than anything. That being said, Cant wait for the PS3.

6 - good ppl

Yeah nice one trumpeter i am a christian and it does tick me off when dumb people decide to say dumb things. if everybody went to heaven for a day then NOBODY would wont to come back here especially to play a games console and they'd all probably start searching for a religeon , just like if people went to hell nobody would want to go back and they would all be serching for a religion. Heaven is a free gift from the lord jesus who died for your and my sins in hope that you wouldnt have to go to hell and to compare something as serious as that to a bunch of cells and wire (still a sick console and im wanna one !!) its just cheeky really cheaky and btw christains dont try to pay to get into heaven they doit to help the church as patrick said only an uneducated fool would try to pay to goe to heaven and a very nice statements from patrick and trumpeter


any way yeah looking foward to ps3 gonna be nice still


7 - yeah

the guy above is right you cannot pay to get into heaven anyone who tried to pay to get into heaven by paying would almost certainly assure they didn't anyway im a christian but i still dont see how a comment thing on ps3 can turn into a argumant over religous morals i am deffinetly buying a ps3 but i most certainly wouldnt if it was a choice between my religion and a game console
(who thinks sony will ever reach ps78?)


8 - yeah

12 - The world is changing....

Gone are the days where PC applications were just word & excel - multimedia is where it's at. When the Cell was shown to the world in February this year, both Amd & Intel had no multicore processor. Since cells announcement, both companies have actively persued this avenue of performance (over the usual clock race). They have road-mapped their 2, 4 & 6 cores processors for the forseeable future. Even then they will be short of cores compared with the cell.
Also, more importantly, cell is constrained to x86 architecture (circa 1985) - so it's free to evolve without being shackled to windows. As cell supports multi-operating systems/multistream media simutainously - it's comerial apllications are limitless. Be affraid wintel.

God bless you all.
