Not much details. But will be multiple cored and "the three firms claim that the Cell chip will be up to 10 times more powerful than existing processors."

Perphaps you might see these chips in future macs. Apple needs something to boost there part of the market.
Macs are nice to use but they are just to slowwwwwwwwwwww.

Watch out for the <b><font color=red>bloody</font color=red></b> Fanboys!

AMD64 2800+ :: MSI Neo-Fis2r :: 1024mb Kingmax ddr400 :: Sapphire 9800pro 128mb :: 10K WD Raptor

Addicted, finally.

I have an old 286 chip that I keep around as a paperweight because it's nifty. That's an "existing processor."

Gotta love marketing talk. Trust me that thing isn't going to be 10 times faster than a 3.4ghz P4. (even if it were, how would you even measure that? there's no way to benchmark a PS3 vs. a PC. Heck there's no way to benchmark a PS3, period!)
