IBM to "open" up the Cell
interesting little quip from my favorite tech news site on the entire web.
i'm especially interested in this exerpt: Instead, IBM has set up a team in its engineering services division to help others custom-design versions of Cell that could be made in IBM's fabs..." and the possible implications this has for Apple. i've heard a lot of people shout something like "IBM making cell? Stick it in a Macintosh!!!" and then the rebuttle "but there's no altivec/vector engine (or something technical like that)!! it'll never work!!" this "opening up" adds a new twist to the speculation. should be interesting.
