Why everyone's trying to sell us any deliberately [partially] disabled products?

Come'on! Please! If you want your product to be sell, then give us the full blow! No down graded Cell, we want the whole deal!

A x86 + **complete** Cell on a notebook, that's more like it!

The Cell has been important to push the green goblin and DAMMIT in the "right" direction, I suppose, don't see how. but the cell did freak some engenders out. ("c" sucks by the way)

I'm saddened that the Cell is not the bomb-shell she was supposed to grow up to be....if not for them pesky yield problems we might be saying "Wii what?"

If they released this as an add-in card for desktops (PCI-Express obviously) then it could be mildly successful in the video-editing world. This would depend on the advancement of GPGPU's though and program compatibility.

... LOL ... and they still haven't fixed the 'can't spell our own name' typos on their product page. Guess they are not avid readers here. :-P

The Cell was conceived when GPUs were hardly programmable pixel pushers. In the time between conception and hitting the market GPUs have become fully unhinged and beat the Cell at everything it does. It's pointless, and Toshiba as part of the three-leaf Cell clover is trying to find a way to flog it to idiots. The 9600M can do everything the so-called 'quad core HD processor' does, except better.

The spursengine not only wastes power on its own, it also has its own wasteful store of rambus ram. How stupid is that? Use the 9600M for christ's sake.

...They want this superb feature set to actually work under the Broken OS?

Shall we mock all change?

16:9 ratio but with the wrong resolution.
They must be kidding!

I want a plug-in CELL for my video editing in Premiere Pro. Even my OCed Q9450 has problems keeping up with 1080 material...
