| Dogs Rule said: I was hoping for a Linux only machine that would only have a cell as a main CPU. But I doubt there is a market for that... yet. |
IBM have blades with 2 Cells on each card but they cost lotts ,I Think the toshiba is a nice balance of CPU and Cell processing, It's supprising that they dont just run a full Cell chip with 6 or 7 or 8 SPU's and PPC but on a laptop power is a very limited resource.
This laptop will thrash most desktop systems at the tasks like encoding video which have the Cell chip working on them and it will do it without using much power - cell is an efficient processing chip.
Toshiba were working on standalone DVD resolution enhancer players after they realised HD-DVD was going down. This laptop and the special software is the result of their efforts it seems.
If anyone wanted the Ultimate DVD player and resolution up-converter this laptop is the very best.
