Don't know if everybody has read this yet or not but here some more info on that new Cell CPU developed by IBM, Sony, and Toshiba.

"The core at the heart of each Cell chip will be a derivative of either the Power5 or PowerPC 980 core. The former implements simultaneous multithreading (SMT), giving software two virtual threads to play with for each single thread. The PowerPC 970 did not have SMT support, and it did not have support for the special memory tags necessary to support the OS/400 operating system from IBM; PowerPC 9XX line of chips can run AIX, Linux, and MacOS, however. My sources at the iSeries Rochester Labs tell me that the Cell chip can indeed run OS/400, which seems to imply that either Cell is a derivative of the Power5 or the future PowerPC 9XX chips have add those special memory tags added."

"The Cell chip will eventually be at the heart of the PlayStation 3 game console, too."


"The question now is: Will it be cheaper to buy a real i5 server or buy a future Cell-based HDTV set and put OS/400 on it?"
