the Cell is taking off like mad...
What, besides the PlayStation 3, is the Cell being used in? Nothing. It's a great CPU, but it's not taking off yet. It's not even in production yet. Wait a while and see who adopts the Cell.

Not to mention it's not even an exclusive IBM product. Sony and Toshiba also own 33% of the design, and will have their own fabrication facilities.

What, besides the PlayStation 3, is the Cell being used in? That right now is huge, just that means millions will be shipped. There is so much interest, and it has a lot of industry support (remember Toshiba's video demo?), that it can't fail. BTW, the processor in the upcoming XBox is IBM, and a close cousin to the Cell. The next Nintendo will also use a related IBM chip.
