Heyyo,
Hmm, it's a sad thing when "partnerships" are supposed to make things better, but in computers, sometimes it means the reverse. Nvidia buying out 3dfx (oh c'mon, our vidcards would be soo much better if 3DFX was still in the game. They made incredible vidcards, they were the top until they got bought out), sapphire going with that cheap ram company... the only time it seems to be good is when they're inventing something completely new. Sony, and IBM, and I can't remember the 3rd company, them and those cell cpu's will totally overthrow the current cpus. They run onna completely different achitexture due to them being like, 1/4th the size of our current x86 cpus. I mean, they plan their default speed on release to be 4GHz. At E3, in the PS3 they had 4 of them running at only 3.7GHz, so that's 1.2GHz they weren't even using, and the UT2k7 ingame cinematics looked incredibly smooth. Same goes for that other game.. I forget the name now..
I think they said they can do up to 10 processes per cycle, x86 cpus can only do 2. So 10x4 is 40 processes per cycle, you could like, freakin' mutli-os-multi-task that setup. I'd cream my pants if my computer were that stong, lol. I dunno folks, they say the PS3 will ship with linux onnit.. if so.. and you can plug your keyboard n' mouse into it.. that's like, a super computer at a new low price. Just get that cedega, and there ya go, play games with rediculous graphics settings and have no framerate loss, literally.
I dunno, cedega might not work with the version of linux they're gonna use on the PS3, but I hope they make a compatible version, if so, the prospect of having a super computer would be all the more intruging no?
Btw, they do plan to bring cell processors to us PC users... but to get a standard out n' so, we can be looking at a cell processor in our comps in maybe 2007.. if we're lucky, most likely in 2008. By then, who knows wth amd and intel might have accomplished. Cause it's obvious, x86 architecture is old, an upgrade is needed.. But the wait... oh boy.
