@DarkNight_DS: Even if Sony doesn't use the Cell for anything else, some other companies will (and are using it already). Sony probably gains some money in royalties for that, being part of the consortium, although I have no idea of how much and if IBM/Toshiba have a greater share of the Cell business than Sony.

 

Is anyone using it in a mass produced product? Or are you just pointing out that some scientists are using it for experimental purposes? I have yet to see a product on shelves that uses the cell other then the PS3. Do you have a link I can look at? I'm curious as to who would benefit at all from going with the Cell now that it's not going to see the massive price reductions the PS3 could have afforded it.

Not that I know of. The closest thing which is known right now would be IBM blade servers I guess? I was just saying that it's possible for Sony to get some money (revenue, not necessarily profit) from the Cell, not that it's definitely happening.
