Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[TJ Parker]

By the way, any news on the bu$$ apart of the fact their technology is used with the "Cell" processor? That information has been known for quite some time, but the bu$$ is printing $18.20 here.

from slashdot.org:

Hack Jandy writes "Anand Shimpi has some details about the upcoming Cell processor (PS3) in his personal blog. According to Anand, "Rambus announced that the new Cell processor uses both Rambus XDR memory and their FlexIO processor bus. Because Rambus designed the interface for both the memory controller(s) and the processor interface, the vast majority of signaling pins are using Rambus interfaces - a total of 90% according to Rambus." Hasn't Rambus been showing up a lot again recently? The fact that Cell uses XDR has been widely speculated, but the fact that it will also use the Rambus bus signalling is something completely new."
