Thanks Overkiller! :D

This may very well be the David that can take on the "Wintel" Goliath! :)

hehe....

I regret to say that I am not finished reading up on it myself yet :(...but...

Look at the "updates" section at the very bottom.

Hypothesizing a new cache system that might eliminate a lot of the writing that occurrs to RAM giving it a massive speed boost.

I personally cant wait...

also...Considering that INtel/AMD use IBM technology in their chips (such as .65nm processing)...i think IBM has this in the bag :D

perhaps not as much of a dream as you might think. after all they will be mass-produced in large quantities starting this year :)

I missed the announcements regarding the cell at the big meeting. Does anyone have any more info on what new information on the cell was released?
