Paul said:"Of course i wont yield to the fact that many articles and even press releases starte the cell wont be used in the ps3"
Although this CURRENT SCEI article proves other wise? What's the past means nothing, because this current scei article proves that cell will be used in the "next gen comp system" which everyone knows is ps3.
I ask you this, why would SCEI lie?
Paul said:""With this investment, SCEI will manufacture the new microprocessor for the broadband era, code-named “Cellâ€, as well as other system LSIs, to be used for the next generation computer entertainment system.""
Where are the may's and if's?
So your telling me your going to trust an article over an official SCEI statement? How sad is that, and no you didn't answear the question. Your trying to bring other things into the fray to get off topic.
Answear it, why would SCEI lie in this CURRENT statement?
they said expected to be , not is the engine behind .Sony Corp. (Quote, Company Info) said it is investing $1.7 billion in its new "Cell" processor, which is expected to be the engine behind PlayStation 3 and a raft of other future Sony electronic products.
and whether the cell chip technology will actually be built into it (it being the ps3)But as Sony announces a huge investment, it is still not clear when PlayStation 3 will hit the market, and whether the Cell chip technology will actually be built into it
It says here that they are using the toshiba plant to make cell chips which would be used in all the things mentioned above , not for the ps3 though .Sony is working with Toshiba and IBM (Quote, Company Info) on developing the Cell chip, which could be built into everything from new consumer electronics devices, television set-top boxes, cable and satellite digital broadcast decoders, high-definition televisions, Tivo-like hard-drive recording devices, and mobile phone and computing devices. A portion of Sony's major investment in the Cell development project will also be to upgrade Toshiba's 300mm wafer plant in southwestern Japan, which currently produces chips for PlayStation 2.
Paul said:I'm still waiting for you to answear the question.
I have one article?
I HAVE ONE ARTICLE FROM SONY THEMSELVES STATING THAT CELL WILL BE USED IN PS3, FROM SONY THEMSELVES. THAT IS WORTH MORE THAN ANY ARTICLE YOU CAN FIND FROM ANY NEWS SOURCE.
Paul said:The most noteworthy chip to emerge from this investment is of course the Cell processor, co-developed by Sony, Toshiba, and IBM. Sony confirmed that this investment will be used to produce the Cell, which will be part of its next game console. The chip itself will debut in 2005, although it's not clear whether the console will appear until later on. Sony stated that further details on the subject would be released after its next strategic management meeting.

Sony plans ? So what they haven't even started construction on the new fab? Mabye 2006 for the system is a more likely time frame now . Which makes the quote from ibm that cell wont be ready till 2006 - 2007 more likely . [/url]Sony plans to build a new production line at one of its key plants, capable of producing cutting-edge large silicon wafers such as those needed to produce the Cell, and invest heavily in a new Toshiba plant intended to produce advanced chips.
Paul said:"Still i'd like to read the full press relase with out any slant"
Ok here you go, the official SCEI statement.
"With this investment, SCEI will manufacture the new microprocessor for the broadband era, code-named “Cellâ€, as well as other system LSIs, to be used for the next generation computer entertainment system."
Paul said:"The chip itself will debut in 2005"
Happen to read that?
Paul said:"Yes the cell chip will , Most likely the one used for set top boxes i.e the smallest of the cell chips . Not the one needed to drive a graphics system"
The designchain article said that Cell wouldn't be ready until 2007, which you just proved wrong. Because you just admitted to it coming out 2005. And it is, which has been said in countless news articles.
