EE Times: Details trickle out on Cell processor

Looks like it's IBM Power architecture with custom
interconnect co-developed with (yikes) Rambus.
This appears to be an Itanium-killer, not that anyone
really needed to interfere with Itanic's slow suicide.
The regular Power chips just decisively took the TPC
benchmark crown from an Itanic-based system, and it
doesn't appear that Itanic will get it back anytime soon.
Thanks for the link....
Things are getting real interesting....
