Forums - Sony - Firm Sues Sony Over Cell, Wants PS3 Destroyed

don't really understand what it's talking about, but I would have said a dual/quad-core processor is remarkably similar. So they want all PCs made in the last 2 years, and all 360s and PS3 destroyed or somin. I mean the patent was in 1991, so why wait O.o?

I thought the SPE's were 128-bit RISC processors


no their closer to a core then a processor, think about a core/processor hybrid.


Actually, fazz is correct, they are RISC processors with 128-bit SIMD organization for single and double precision instructions.



What a load of crap.

 Of course they're processors, and yes, Fazz has it correct; they are 128 bit RISC. What is a "core/processor hybrid," SSJ? O_o

And there suing sony not microsft, microsft has something to do with this(speculation) they did say they will do all they can to take sony out, and maybe peter moore left microsoft becuase he had nothing to do with the sue... O_o

It doesn't matter whether the patent actually describes how the Cell processor is designed, all that matters is whether they can convince a 64 year old judge who can't turn on his computer that the Cell processor is similar enough to their patent to justify a trial; if they're successful with that they only have to convince the same judge that there should be an injunction on the production of cell processors and sale of PS3 systems until the end of the trial. If they accomplish that Sony will be forced to settle regardless of the cost associated with it.

Having seen this time and time again, I would say there is a 50% probability that this will go to trial and a 50% probability that an injunction will be imposed.

Patent trolls are so successful because the legal system is incapable of understanding the technology ...



This is as stupid as all the people suing over the Wiimote.



Cell confirmed "last gen" come PS4 release.



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.
