I will "whine" whenever you misrepresent my posts, whis is often. I said the Cell is far more advanced than what was made for Apple, which was several years go. This is true. You misrepresented my post to say "too advanced" which would mean that Apple couldn't handle such high technology, which is ridiculous. It's an especially dumb statement since Apple contributed to the technology in the PowerPC, technology that went into the Cell.
You misrepresented my post. IOW, you lied, again. You didn't think I'd catch you? I always do.
what's really going to be funny is if Apple releases new software technology that helps multicore processing in Macs which is exactly where programming for the Cell has flopped.
Ignorance shining through again. Multicore programming is the ONLY thing that gives the Cell the performance we see today. Without multicore you only have an average PowerPC CPU, and even that requires multithreading to fully use its power (it's two-way multithreaded). It is generally said that nobody even takes advantage of all of the Cell's potential with the multiple cores right now, yet it's already blazing fast. Lots of room for growth and speed increases without even changing the chip. Pretty cool.
how little ole Apple not only dumped your chip
The "my chip" Apple dumped was the PPC 970. You can't dump what you didn't even consider. Just how dense are you?
Hopefully they'll patent it so the Linux leeches at IBM won't be able to get their grubby hands on it either
IBM already has compilers and tools tuned for multi-core processing with Linux and the Cell, Apple is just apparently making it easier and more transparent. Apple often takes existing technology and concepts, and revolutionizes them for ease of use.
You seem to forget that IBM has been doing multi-processor systems for decades, and multi-core five years before Intel. Look at the POWER4: dual-cores per chip, four chips in a plug-in package, several packages in a computer. Yeah, and they did that without knowing how to optimize for multicore.
IBM and their new chip and software sharing labs in Asia
I see your usual association: Asia/China is evil. IBM does business there. Thus IBM is evil.
Then I'd like to remind you that Intel's first new-location fab in 15 years is in China.
