@NewLynxChannel Do you know of a website that can explain to me in SPECIFIC detail what exactly a cell does and what it's potential is? Can you? If possible.
@Alphadragon1979 First, Cell has one core and eight RISC SIMD units, not eight cores. Second, Cell is outperformed by today's mainstream processors on everything but floating-point operations, since desktop CPUs don't have the RISC SIMD units (SPEs), but it is outperformed by mainstream GPUs on that aspect.
Also, PS3 is NOWHERE CLOSE to being a supercomputer. It has a peak performance of 543.2 GigaFLOPS, while supercomputers easily achieve hunderds to thousands of times that value.
@matey27 Are you utterly brain dead? You do realize, the PS3 renders everything it does with 256MB of RAM and crap for video. The Cell is doing everything for the PS3. The PS3, in all essence is a super computer and MANY people use it for that. I've seen them linked in series and used for grid computing. The cell processor has more power behind it then most peoples home computers. Imagine a Dual Cell CPU, that's 16 total cores. You're flipping crazy.
Everyone's stuck on how many channels you can watch at once. That's really no where near as amazing as the ability to upscale any video feed to 2160p on the fly. THAT is the most impressive feature of the TV by far. The amount of processing that has to be done to make that happens is insane. This TV is a beast. The cell processor is a beast. Believing otherwise at this point is just blatant ignorance.
It's 2010. Where is it?

@thegreyvingian Yes. Both IBM and SCEI websites have published documentation about the Cell platform. I'll send you the links by PM.
