Cell is optimized for compute-intensive workloads and broadband rich media
applications, including computer entertainment, movies and other forms of digital content.
Other highlights of the Cell processor design include:
• Multi-thread, multicore architecture.
• Supports multiple operating systems at the same time.
• Substantial bus bandwidth to/from main memory, as well as companion chips.
• Flexible on-chip I/O (input/output) interface.
• Real-time resource management system for real-time applications.
• On-chip hardware in support of security system for intellectual property protection.
• Implemented in 90 nanometer (nm) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology.
Additionally, Cell uses custom circuit design to increase overall performance, while
supporting precise processor clock control to enable power savings.
IBM, Sony Group and Toshiba will disclose more details about Cell in four technical papers
scheduled for presentation at the International Solid State Circuits Conference.
“Less than four years ago, we embarked on an ambitious collaborative effort with Sony
Group and Toshiba to create a highly-integrated microprocessor designed to overcome imminent
transistor scaling, power and performance limitations in conventional technologies," said Dr. John
E. Kelly III, senior vice president, IBM. “Today, we're revealing just a sampling of what we
believe makes the innovative Cell processor a premiere open platform for next-generation
computing and entertainment products.”

PROTOTYPE
The prototype workstation is the first computing application planned for the highlyanticipated
Cell processor.
The companies expect that a one rack Cell processor-based workstation will reach a
performance of 16 teraflops or trillions of floating point calculations per second.
“The supercomputer-like processing and performance of the Cell processorbased
workstation is just the beginning of what we expect will be a wide-range of powerful nextgeneration
solutions resulting from our joint development efforts.”
