Japanese University builds a Super cool CPU...

[Deadmeat]

The world's first superconducting CPU. Burns 1/1000th the power of traditional CMOS devices and runs 10x as fast, so it solves the power consumption problem altogether. The downside is that the CPU has to be cooled to -269 C to run. This chip shown has 5000 transistors. The first commerical version is expected in 2010.

While interesting (let's face it, superconducting silicon...*drool*) there really isn't any other point to your post is there?

Well obviously Sony is doomed.... well, except for except for in temperatures higher that absolute zero that is

A minor point but one worth mentioning I think.. still doesn't change the fact that Sony is doomed though...

Why would this chip, which obviously belongs to the perpetually "5-10 years away" category, be targetted towards killing "Cell" (which for the umpteenth time is an architecture, not a chip) in particular?

You're becoming more and more erratic and fanatical. I'd say there's a definite possibility there's something seriously wrong with you, considering how much mental energy you spend on slandering one company in particular.

What use does it have when it has to be cooled down to -269 C to run? Even overclockers don't use temperatures like that. When it becomes commercial Sony will have a better version of Cell, smaller, cheaper and better...

Well . 90% of the people in this thread have just flamed it. Perhaps I should start making a new ban list
