precis of original article from [url=http://www.zdnet.com.au" target="_blank" rel="nofollow]www.zdnet.com.au
Cell will have a 64-bit IBM Power processor and eight "synergistic processing units" capable of handling separate computing tasks, said Jim Kahle, an IBM Fellow. The Power processor will act as the brain of the chip, running the main operating system for an application and divvying up chores for the other processors.
The multicore design will give software developers tremendous flexibility, Kahle said, allowing them to run multiple operating systems on the same chip and experiment with variations on grid computing.
"It's designed from the beginning to work in a world where all the computers are tied together," he said.
Future versions of Cell chips could have more or fewer processing units depending on what device and software designers require, Kahle said. "There are a number of different ways to implement parallelism on the chip," he said.
How those processing units are used is up to software developers, including the game makers who will soon start wrestling with the PlayStation 3. Kahle said IBM and its Cell partners will provide game developers and other code writers with open-source tools and guidelines for working with Cell but that game developers will have final say on how they chop up computing tasks among the processing units.
• The first version of the chip will run at speeds faster than 4GHz. Engineers were vague about how much faster, but reports from design partners say 4.6GHz is likely. By comparison, the fastest current Pentium PC processor tops out at 3.8GHz.
• Cell can process 256 billion calculations per second (256 gigaflops), falling a wee bit short of marketing hyperbole calling it a "supercomputer on a chip." The slowest machine on the current list of the Top 500 supercomputers can do 851 gigaflops.
• The chip will have 2.5MB of on-chip memory and have the ability to shuttle data to and from off-chip memory at speeds up to 100 gigabytes per second, using XDR and FlexIO interface technology licensed from Rambus.
• The chip will have 234 million transistors, measure 221mm square and be produced using advanced 90-nanometer chipmaking processes. Cell production is expected to shift to a 65-nanometer process as IBM introduces the chipmaking technology later this year.
Future Cell chips are expected to fulfill a variety of applications, from servers to cell phones, although the first generation will require a cooling fan and hence be limited to larger devices like game consoles.
Some competitors are sceptical that Cell will find much of a home outside of video games because the processing units aren't identical, claiming that this situation increases complexity and the opportunity for bugs by compromising compatability.

*cough* dreaming *cough*
xbox certainly, but beating xbox next will be a much tougher job. i personally think they will be on a par, with each having different strengths and weaknesses. however if sony waits too long after the release of xbox next they will lose market share. people will only wait a certain amount of time for its release before buying what's already available.
