"We've been hearing about the power of the "Cell Broadband Engine" for what seems like forever, and there's no denying that it has some horsepower. It's an absolute monster for processing data with approximately 40 times the juice of a PS2 CPU and a multi-core blueprint that allows for true parallel processing (with up to nine independent threads per Cell). NVIDIA's built-in G70-based RSX "Reality Synthesizer" has received nearly as much press -- boasting the ability to handle almost 75 billion shader operations per second with a clock speed of 550MHz. Add 256MB of XDR RAM and another 256MB of GDDR3 VRAM and you have quite the collective muscle."
