At last year's E3, Sony "thrilled" attendees at their early morning press conference with a talk about Cell technology and its potential role in powering the next PlayStation. I'm blaming the jetlag, but at the time seeing the PSP in action was far more exciting than a presentation on processing cores. Of course, I should have had a seventh coffee and been more attentive - Cell processing is big news. Full details about the chip used to power PlayStation 3 will be released later today. Apparently it will be capable of handling 16 trillion floating point operations, or calculations, every second. But can it do emotion? Ahem.
