Cell chip critics hear Itanic seagulls

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/02/11/cell_cpu_letters/
Letters Readers have responded to the prospect of the IBM/Sony Cell chip with measures of skepticism and enthusiasm. The former by far outweighing the latter.

"I haven't been so excited about a new chip architecture since ... Transmeta!" writes Bruce. "And look how that turned out!"

Referring to the Cell chip's ability to scavenge for resources over the world wide web, Tzetan Mikov sounds a warning note, echoed by many readers.

"This has very little to do with microprocessor or system architecture, but is almost exclusively an issue of software - OS, supporting tools, etc. Software that apparently doesn't still exist, and if it did, there is nothing preventing it from running on more ''conventional' hardware.
