<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2">The chip that will run the next version of the PlayStation video
game machine will have nine processor cores and run faster than 4GHz,
the chip's designers revealed Monday. Engineers from Sony, IBM and
Toshiba revealed those and other specifications for the Cell processor
during a press conference at the International Solid-State Circuits
Conference, where technical papers on the Cell design will be presented
this week. The three companies have been working on Cell for several
years, promising to deliver a high-performance chip optimized for
multimedia applications. Test production of Cell chips is set to begin
later this year, and the processors will appear later in workstation
PCs optimized for animation and other graphics chores. <a href="http://news.com.com/PlayStation+3+chip+has+split+personality/2100-1043_3-5566340.html" target="_blank" target="_blank">Read on...</a></font></p>
