The Sony PlayStation 3's proprietary Cell Processor is flexing its muscles again, this time not by pushing graphics to eye-popping extremes, but by helping radiologists and doctors do their job faster and better in the medical field. |

the people doing this research are all obviously sony fanboys.
It makes me sick that they are using something thats in a ps3 to do it. they could of got the thing from the 360 for $200 cheaper! $200!

U R A GOOD SHIIIIIIITBOX360 fanboy as for 360 no body in the world can make a supercomputer or cluster from ur SHIIIITBOX360 but people have made cluster or supercomputer by joining 5 ps3 together

Like a radiologist is going to care about getting a 360 or a PS3 unless he's a gamer.

Its just stating that the Cell has more then just gaming purposes.
The military uses it. The medical industry is using it. Eventually all research and application related industries will be using the Cell for its efficiency in processing power for the watt usage.

» first off....
Look at the size of the cell that person is holding....ps3's cell is nothing like the one they're using in radiology. The cell they use is exponentially bigger.

To the poster above:
Take your time to look more closely at the picture, first of all, that is an IBM employee holding the large cluster of cell processors (processors, if you didn't know are made that way). What is held in that employee's hands is worth more money than what you could make in a year.
Secondly, for you Xbox 360 fans, the processor the 360 uses is just an average beefed up Intel processor, which can be found in most gaming computers. Thats why you will never hear any article about someone doing something with a 360 processor specificly. that will never happen, because that processor appears in computers too, so the credit would mainly go to actual computers. The ps3's computing power is extremely high for its size and power consumption. That is due to the way it was designed which makes it extremely efficient in handling data.

» imagin the future processers
in the future* that kind of processor power will be the standard for home computers. so then imagine the kinnd of processors that would be used in future medical research...
* i stress the word future alot.

And now the silicon tumor fighter. Is that what Sony wants to be known as instead of as a game machine??

» biased idea by the site
this article uses soem factual data of cell's power, but completely misguides the gamers... cell does computation works in PS3, not as a GPU... because of its DSP liek behaviour it wud hav been more suitable for specific kinds of task like graphics, or sound alone... but dats exactly wat not games are all about. compared to dat, the x360's 3 core cpu ahs faaar more general purpose processing power which is required to make s systems cpu powerful... the fact dat was used to call cell powerfull, dat work is done by nvidia's RSX...
article is extremely misleading, i would ask the site admin to review this!
