IBM's Radical Cell Processor 298
Rouslan Solomakhin writes "Forbes has recently posted an article on IBM's new revolutionary Cell processor. Cell is going to enable PS3 developers to create movie-quality games with blazing-speed graphics. Applications in other areas are also considered." From the article: "Some techies say PlayStation 3, which may debut by midyear and could end up in 100 million homes in five years, will usher in the next microchip revolution. The Sony system owes its prowess to a microprocessor called Cell, which was cooked up by chip wizards at IBM (with help from Sony and Toshiba) at a cost of $400 million over five years."

The detail you seem to have missed is: those of us who have not taken to resting a Power5 server on our laps have managed to keep our balls.
Seriously, a condescending server nerd is never a pretty sight. How's that working out for you?
