Go up one level in this thread


 It's hard to get anything but marketing fluff right now. But considering
previous information about the Cell core it would seem to be a downgraded
version. The core PowerPC runs at 3.2 GHz instead of 4+ GHz. The number of SP
units are 7 instead of 8. And rumor is one SP unit is dedicated to bookkeeping.
And remember the PPC core is a relatively simple two issue in order core.
 But it will be able to play good chess.
