This is not only in the games market. The cell cpu was not designed solely for games. In fact, it was designed specifically with hdtv in mind--it has the exact number of ALUs necessary to process an hdtv stream. IOW, besides the PS3, they are gunning for the embedded market, set tops, etc. Can you imagine having a cell phone with one of these babies? AFAIK, the set top and embedded markets are far more valuable than the gaming (video cards) and game console markets. -- Respectfully, Nicholas Leippe Sales Team Automation, LLC 1335 West 1650 North, Suite C Springville, UT 84663 +1 801.853.4090 http://www.salesteamautomation.com .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
