Toshiba Demonstrates Cell Microprocessor Simultaneously Decoding 48 MPEG-2 Streams
On of the most-hyped chips on the horizon is the Sony/Toshiba/IBM
Cell Microprocessor.
Will it render today's microprocessors and graphic chips obsolete?
It is slated to go into Sony's Playstation 3 (along with an NVIDIA GPU) and also many other consumer electronics applications.
An early demonstration of the chip is reported in
Toshiba Demonstrates Cell Microprocessor Simultaneously Decoding 48 MPEG-2 Streams -- Tech-On!. Especially interesting is the interview linked at the bottom with Sony's "Father of the Cell Chip".
