operate @ 6GHz – 7GHz clock-speed --> HOLY FUCK

Cell's architecture scales way better than Intel and especially AMD. Its one PPC and 4-8 small SPE's so its no where near the size of a Penryn, and especially a K10 at 45nm even. I can't wait to see an 8 SPE PS3 running at 6Ghz run F@H.

uhmm well be abit smarter and dont give out your email, like you juist did now ;)

This new cell probably runs on POWER 6 risc process technology.
The POWER 6 was the first chip to scale comfortably to 5 GHZ.

I really wonder if this chip could find it's way in the next gen Nintendo system but that is unlikely (knowing the company's conservative stance when it comes to hardware)

But it is confirmed that there will be a HD Wii in the future.
Ther is no other direction to go for Nintendo.

As for Sony there is a chance to see a dual core version of the cell in a PS4 but I doubt they repeat the'll costly marketing stunt of the PS3 again.
Besides a dual core version of the already multiple core cellis programmers HELL.

The big benefit of this is obviously for Sony. It's going to be hard for the Cell to find better opportunities without better development software. I suppose there is some progress being made on this front with the Linux Kernal supporting the Cell processor, but without better tools to utilize it I doubt it will see as much use as x86 hardware, which is so cheap nowadays and programmers are so use to coding for it.
