Toshiba planning a Cell processor based Laptop
Japanese tech giant Toshiba is expected to bring to the market a new notebook model powered with a processor based on the Cell technology.
Cell processors are already being used in the Sony Playstation 3 gaming console and some servers made by IBM.
Market sources say that the Toshiba Qosmio G40 notebook will sport a SpursEngine SE1000 chip based on the Cell Broadband Engine.
The processor is capable of doing high-definition video encoding and decoding of MPEG-2 and H.264 streams.
The company is also said to be working on high end television models powered by the same technology.
