	The Cell Chip - how will MS and Intel face the music? \| The Register
		The Cell, from Sony, IBM and Toshiba is the latest; it will be unveiled next week in San Francisco and will ship later this year in the PlayStation3 console and in enterprise infrastructure from IBM.
		The Cell is designed to make sure media, or third party programs, stay exactly where the owner of the media or program thinks they should stay.
		Cell is designed to scale from handhelds to vast data centers, but the market will begin not with a few enterprising early-adopters, like the micro or the TiVO did, but with a mass market.

		The Cell processor consists of a general-purpose POWERPC processor core connected to eight special-purpose DSP cores.
		In this brief overview, I'm first going to talk in some general terms about the Cell approach — what it is, what it's like, what's behind it, etc. — before doing an information dump at the end of the article for more technical readers to chew on and debate.
		In its most basic form IBM's Cell does what computer architects have been doing since the first cache was invented — Cell moves a small bit of memory closer to the execution units, and lets the processor store frequently-used code and data in that local memory.
