It's called Cell, google is your friend. As far as Sony is concerned it's *the* future for chips, PS3 to supercomputer. There's alot of hype and while there will be soon, nothing to see as of yet, I'll withhold judgement till we can see it in action. It does appear to be some kind of scaleable architecture with massive paralell capabilities in mind but beyond that nothing is known. There are similar systems under R&D @ Intel and AMD. Oh and I think tobisha is coming out with a TV with one of these next year, before the PS3.
