Cell = one G5 and 8 identical vector chips

For a total of nine cores. The G5 acts as the conductor
orchestrating the massive floating point capabilities of the 8 DSP
like cores. This vastly simplifies things for programmers wanting
to pump out triangles to the screen.

As a game box nothing yet envisioned can touch the capabilities
of this system. For both raw power and ease of programming.

As a media PC this will make current (and future) Media Center
PC's seem like crystal radio sets from the 1950's. The Cell
platform is the future of multimedia.

Wait until Apple starts using this chip in their Macintoshes, you
ain't seen nothin' yet!
