That would be pretty damn sweet!
If it could run Linux anyway.
I dunno, I’d love to believe that they are using a reconfigrued IBM processor but after what IBM did . You know the xbox 360 processors is just 3 cell cores on steriods – minus the synergistic cores and add hyper threading. Something tells me the reports that intel wom the ps4 gpu will be more like the CPU, and an ati video card or nvidia, but I’d bank on ati as nvidia costs a bucket load for there chips. If larabee pans out you might see something like a 4 core icore 7 hybrid each with 2 synergistic cors intel style with larabee and rambus ram on both the gpu CPU shafted.
