> Sony Ericsson and the cell processor
Bookmark topic
Hi I heard today from a mate who works with computers that sony ericsson will be putting a cell processor (a similar design to the ps3) into one of their phones (i thought possible the p1000), obviously it would not be as fast as the ps3 etc, but it would make the phones super fast. Do you recon this is possible/true?

Wouldn't heat, power usage, pricing and other factors come into play?
It'd be nifty but I can't realistically see it happening.

thats what I thought, the battery life would be rally bad unlesshtey invented some type of new battery...

Don't forget size. Any PC processor is to large for mobile usage.

Well, if you consider the architecture it would be good for a mobile, I mean on really low or scalable clock.

hmm teh cell processor is not a processor intended for pc's. It's a risc processor designed by IBM and used in servers and now also for game computers. The processor has the size of a pc processor and maybe even higher power consumption. For cooling you need at least a big heatsink and even better with it's own fan for cooling.

Well, in mobile devices the ARM9 core based risc processors are widely used. The risc architecture uses fixed-width instructions what requires less complex cache and processing architecture this why the power connsuption is less compared to a same speed (measured in MIPS, FLOPS whatever) cisc processor.
The IBM Cell uses a main processor and 8 vector processors with dedicated cache to be extrememly fast however the FLOPS/Watt ratio is far better compared to a cisc architecture.
For mobile devices the most important part is the power consumption and the scalable performance.

With so much in it should weigh heavy.

depends, I asumen if it were true they would use smaller processers joind together or something
