But here's the question: is Cell using PowerPC technology?

If you can run program code designed for PowerPC on Cell, does that mean future versions of Apple's Macintosh line of computers will use CPU's derived from Cell technology?

There's a lot of hype here. I'm not an expert, so I can't tell if there is substance to match.

Do we know if Cell is what IBM claims it is, and if not, when will we know? Because if this is true, it's awesome.

And how many times have we heard this before? Anyone out there still runing Alpha, or IBM's last great invention, Cyrix?

Cell chip: Hit or hype?
