New Chip Architecture

Here's an interesting article (for geeks only) on the architecture of the new Cell Processor. This chip has been designed by Sony, Toshiba and IBM and will be in the PlayStation 3. It's a radical new chip design and will deliver blazzing performance improvements ("We have never seen a leap in performance like this before and I don't expect we'll ever see one again, It'll send shock-waves through the entire industry and we'll see big changes as a result."). Combine that with it being cheap because the PlayStation 3 will have enough demand that the numbers produced will be huge and as a result the price will be low. The article questions: "Has the PC finally met it's match?"
