New Cell Processor

[WonderNerd]

A new processor is gonna come out sometime this century. It's called CELL. It's a lot to read, but check it out:

Another thing that should be pointed out is that the Cell used in the paper has full access to all eight SPEs, and not the six SPEs of the PS3. (Remember, one SPE is disabled for yield reasons, and the other is reserved for the system.) So keep this in mind when fantasizing about how these results are going to extrapolate to the PS3 hardware.

It's already "out."
