Wow they got it up to 5.2GHz :amazed: that thing would be screaming.
Thanks for the link. I'm still reading it. But this is what they say in possible implementations;
Blade server
IBM has already presented a blade server prototype based on two Cell processors, running the 2.6.11 Linux kernel. [21] The processors ran at 2.4 - 2.8 GHz. IBM expects to soon run them at 3.0 GHz, providing 200 GFLOPS single-precision floating point performance per CPU (or 400 GFLOPS per board). IBM also expects to arrange seven blades in a single rackmount chassis (similar to their BladeCenter product line) for a total performance of 2.8 TFLOPS (or 284 GFLOPS in double precision) per chassis. However, the performance numbers released by IBM are still theoretical, and the real-world performance may fall significantly short of theoretical expectations.
Console videogames
Sony's PlayStation 3 video game console will contain the first production application of the Cell processor, clocked at 3.2 GHz and containing seven usable SPEs. An eighth will be manufactured, but one will be disabled at the factory in order to allow Sony to increase the yield on the processor manufacture.
Home cinema
Reportedly, Toshiba is considering producing HDTVs using Cell. They have already presented a system to decode 48 MPEG-2 streams simultaneously on a 1920×1080 screen.
All media stuff. Trust me, its not going to be on a PERSONAL COMPUTER.
