uuuuuuuuuuyyyyy, que se va armar...

como lo venda ibm bien...bye AMD bye Intel...

...al parecer supone una nueva etapa en procesadores, sino basta leer
las conclusiones del autor de uno de los artículos:

"Conclusion

The first Cell based desktop computer will be the fastest desktop
computer in the industry by a very large margin. Even high end
multi-core x86s will not get close. Companies who produce
microprocessors or DSPs are going to have a very hard time fighting the
power a Cell will deliver. We have never seen a leap in performance
like this before and I don't expect we'll ever see one again, It'll
send shock-waves through the entire industry and we'll see big changes
as a result.

The sheer power and low cost of the Cell means it will present a
challenge to the venerable PC. The PC has always been able to beat
competition by virtue of it's huge software base, but this base is not
as strong as it once was. A lot of software now runs on Linux and this
is not dependant on x86 processors or Microsoft. Most PCs now provide
more power than is necessary and this fact combined with fast JIT
emulators means that if necessary the Cell can provide PC compatibility
without the PC.

It will not just attack the PC industry but expect it to be widely used
in embedded applications where high performance is required. This means
it will be made in numbers potentially many times that of x86 CPUs and
this will reduce prices further. This will also hurt PC based vendors'
desires to enter the home entertainment space as PC based solutions
[Entertainment] will be more complex and cost more than Cell based
systems.

This is going to prove difficult for the PC as CPU and GPU suppliers
will have essentially nothing to fight back with. All they can hope to
do is match a Cell's performance but even that is going to be
incredibly difficult given the Cell's aggressive Cray-esqe design
strategy.

Cell is going to turn the industry upside down, nobody has ever
produced such a leap in performance in one go and certainly not at a
low price. The CPU producers will be forced to fight back and
irrespective of how well the Cell actually does in the market you can
be sure that in a few short years all CPUs will be providing vastly
more processing resources than they do today. Even if the Cell was to
fail we shall all gain from it's legacy.

Not all companies will react correctly or in time, this will provide
opportunities for newer, smaller and smarter companies. Big changes are
coming, they may take years but the Cell means a decade from now the
technology world is going to look very different."
