News.com and others have an <a href="http://news.com.com/2100-1001-948493.html?tag=fd_lede"; target="_blank">article</a> on IBM/Sony/Toshibas upcoming Cell cpu.



The article is still light on details, but includes lots of marketing numbers and comments. Apparently its a fast multicore chip (they suggest 1TFlop), to ship in late 2004 or 2005. No indication if it's a PPC compatible chip or even in the neighborhood, but from the comments it *does* look like it might make for a part that Apple would be interested in.



Thoughts anyone?

    I heard that this chip was designed for the next-generation Play Station 3. Though I could be wrong.



    Thusly its very doubtfull that Apple will ever use this in a desktop computer.
