Take a look folks, this is the proof that its indeed realtime. The guy CONTROLS the camera.

Oh, and the reporter seems really noob, makes many stupid questions to the IBM engineers, LOL

awesome find...i knew PS3 had it

Upping onto YouTube now... Link up soon.

Does this mean Mac OS runs on Cell too?

[frosty]

They showed this at the E3 05' press conference. Different map, same stuff.

I laugh at fools who dought the power of The Cell. Really, have we seen this kind of real time processing on ANY other system? Nope, not PC, not Mac, nor the 360. PS3 and Cell, YAH BABY!!! All it will take is time to make the games run the best they can.

Even though I do not doubt for a moment the Cell is more powerful than any other processor we need to remember that was one specific application. There are probably certain specific applications that another processor would perform really well at where the Cell might not perform quite as well.

Every processor is made differently and the design process is very, very complicated. Sacrifices have to be made in order to create the sort of processor that is desired.

I do believe that the Cell is a very powerful processor and could probably beat most other chips at most applications and leave them in the dust. But if we look hard enough there must be things that using the Cell chip is not really optimal for doing. It might perform better than the other processor, but not 40 times better like in this clip.
