By Steven Levy NEWSWEEK "SUPERPOWERFUL CHIP" Thread, more on Sony's PS3 IBM/Toshiba chip. Not too hard to guess what kind of network communcations protocol they eventually will be needing. Regards, Amy J (snip)... "broadband strategy. Sony has struck a billion-dollar deal with IBM and Toshiba to create a superpowerful chip—1,000 times mightier than the one in PlayStation 2—that will be the basis of a modular computer called a “cell.”... (snip) The cell technology (expected to arrive around 2005) is the basis for a “home server” device that could be the center of all media and information in the home. Additional cell computers would be the brains of every Sony device—a game console might have five cells, and a PDA might use only one. The cells, as members of the network, would all be connected, in effect creating a peer-to-peer web that would transform every home into a kind of domestic (and legal) Napster." msnbc.com
