RE: [Discuss-gnuradio] Cell Chip in a laptop

[Bob McGwier]

They got enough stuff wrong in the article to comment.

Spurs is not a powerpc.  It is a four spe coprocessor sitting in a very
Intel-like system as the Toshiba laptop has a Core 2 Duo in it along with
the spe coprocessor running at 1/2 clock for power reasons.

The Sony PS3 does NOT have 7 spes available.   It has six.  They used up one
of those available aid running the silly hypervisor.

And on and on.

Bob
