Sony Cell to challenge wintel?
Slashdot points to an in-depth article on Cell processor expected to be in the PS3. The article is based almost exclusively off analysis from the patent filing.

The author speculates that the cell will become the general purpose computer of the future, replacing the Intel/AMD/Microsoft status quo with a new one that may include Apple. I certainly agree with author that Apple has an opportunity here. What is not certain is whether Jobs and Co. will seize the moment. If history is any indication, they probably won't.

Glad to hear this. Intel hasn't produced a significant leap in technology since, what, the 386?
If Apple doesn't take advantage of this opportunity, who could? Sony, perhaps? Or some yet-unknown player?
