Infact..

To Louis: They are right http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/04/toshiba-spursengine.html it is a slim downed version of the CELL with 4 cores instead of 8.

There is no way they could put the full CELL in a laptop with heat yeilds etc so I would check on something before blasting off google is a nice friend sometimes.

oh dear.

this is not news! you already reported this, and have provided a link to it at the bottom of the article. makes this one a bit redundant, no? not only that, but this article is not even correct. "The cell microprocessor, which was developed by by IBM, Toshiba and Sony back in 2001, has a hardware codec for HD encoding and decoding of MPEG-2 and H.264 streams and four slave cores optimised for media streaming." no, it doesn't. the cell microprocessor developed in 2001 in whats in the ps3, among other things, and does not have any hardware decoder, and has 8 "slave cores" (although yes one is disabled in the ps3 chip). you're clealry describing the spursengine, which is obviously not the same thing. whats happened to the inq? you're recycling news, and not even getting the facts right!

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
