I thought as its bound to come up along with lots of questions about it in the future we may as well have a thread dedicated to this next-gen ultra powerful processor architecture which is to be used is some form or another in the PS3
say what you think about it here etc etc

Old article, I just thought id start of the posts
The PS3 'Cell'
The PS3 'Cell' is the name given to Sony's revolutional new proccesor chip. It is set to change the way console gaming is, forever. There has been speculation that this new technological breakthrough can reach up anywhere from 20 to 1000 times the power of the current PS2 chip!
Here is a nice summary of how the Cell is expected to work:
"So the way that the Cell processor works is that there is a pool of 16 or so of these (probably not completely identical) RISC or SIMD/VLIW cores on a single die. The system will do its processing by drawing resources from this pool on a task-specific basis. For instance, the audio processing subsystem will consist of a set of software routines that request cycles from the pool for the purpose of processing 3D audio. The 3D engine will similarly request cycles from the same pool for rendering, and similarly with the game AI system, etc. The different processing cores will probably be grouped together dynamically by software into "teams" in order to complete specific tasks (i.e. 3D rendering, audio, etc.). Each team's size will scale dynamically to fit its current workload by either acquiring new cores from the pool or releasing unneeded cores back to the pool for use by other processes."

Given how old it is, it's surprising how close it came to at least one of the major computational models being used today on Cell.

It was a satire of the other thread revival

20 to 1,000 times more powerful? Whatever happened to the 1,000 times?
