IBM: Cell chip in PS3 underutilized
,----[ Quote ]
| To address the issue, engineers from IBM and developers from
| Vivendi Games will gather at Vivendi's High Moon Studios in
| Carlsbad, Calif., for a two-day "jam session" beginning
| Wednesday, according to IBM. Software development platform
| provider RapidMind, also an IBM Cell blade customer, will
| also take part in the conference. (IBM Cell blades use the
| same microprocessor as PS3s.)

| Unlike IBM blades with Big Blue's Power processors, Intel's Xeon or
| Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron, the Cell blades can't be intermixed
| with other varieties in the same BladeCenter chassis. The systems
| run Red Hat's Fedora Core 5 version of Linux.
