IBM will use CELL CPU on Blade serers

IBM will use teh CELL cpu (the onle lik will be in PS3)
on her next line of blade server

Blade servers are a relative rarity in computing clusters; they often cost more than more ordinary rack-mountable models and come with reliability features that scientific applications don't require. But Cell blades could change that, because the chip's special-purpose calculation engines could significantly increase the amount of processing that can be done with a given number of blades.

this one has 8 Cores inside
hope will see that kind of power on future PC ASAP :D

This is good news for everyone who doing business in Internet... But I disagree that Blade Servers are rarity. Despite all they are more convenient for big companies for example, although for small ones they are maybe too expensive. :roll: Using IBM Bade Server will be an usual thing in future, I believe. And this is reality today Blade Servers become more popular. Look only at Internet trade for example on costupdate store on eBay (http://search.stores.ebay.com/Costupdate_ibm-blade-server_W0QQfciZ4QQfclZ4QQfsnZCostupdateQQfsooZ2QQf sopZ2QQftsZ2QQrefidZstoreQQsaselZ3743435QQsofpZ0).

Well, it has 8 cores, but these "cores" are small and simple units... not complex broad-application cores like a CPU. The Cell core is almost like a GPU, it is highly specialized in one kind of processing, and that one kind only.

the ps3 does not use cell cpu's they use orphans!:(
~~~DOWN WITH SONY~~~

:lol:nah, too expensive atm for the everyday consumer, but it will be...you just wait:wink:
