Sony says 'Cell'-based TV ready by 2006
Sony plans to offer a broadband television by 2006 that would incorporate the powerful new "Cell" processor it is developing with IBM and Toshiba.
In an interview with the Japanese business daily Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Sony Chief Executive Nobuyuki Idei said it would use Cell to power its next-generation game console as well as a network television that will offer functions similar to a personal computer. The Cell processor will be up to 10 times more powerful than conventional chips and able to shepherd large chunks of information through a high-speed Internet network. Sony has said Cell--due to start test production in early 2005--will power the next-generation PlayStation game console, which will probably double as a home server, as well as other digital home electronics. more..
