Via DailyTech: "Sony this week said that it will unveil a prototype of a new Cell Computing Board, which is composed of both Cell Broadband Engine and RSX GPU chips – components also found inside every PlayStation 3. Sony plans to show the Cell Computing Board at the SIGGRAPH show from August 7 to 9.

The Cell Broadband Engine chip alone is capable of outputting 230 GFLOPS, and Sony believes that the incorporation of RSX “realizes arithmetic operation speeds beyond” that speed.

The Cell Computing Board is designed to handle industrial applications. According to Sony is expected to demonstrate the technology’s use in real-time processing of 4K images, or extremely high-resolution pictures. The Cell Computing Board is also expected to be used for computer graphics rendering and various physics simulations that take advantage of “multi-thread processing ability” of the Cell/B.E."

What do you think of the Cell/B.E.?

Not impressed

Amazed at how powerful it is

I will wait until it can be used in a normal desktop PC before I pass judgement
