IBM says still developing cell processors will continue to supply game chips

Foreign media reports, IBM Systems and Technology Group chief technology officer Jes Mei Lennon (Jai Menon) local time in an interview in Thursday, said the company did not stop the development of cell processor, the future will continue to supply game chips.　　Menon said IBM is working with game consoles, including Nintendo and Sony, that "we will not give up game chip business". The cell processor, developed jointly by IBM, Toshiba and Sony, uses IBM's power architecture and was used in Sony's PS3 gaming console in 2005. Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii also use IBM's processor, but not the cell.　　IBM issued a statement in Friday confirming that it continues to produce a cell processor for Sony PS3. Menon did not disclose game chip and hardware development, but said the power processor has the same processing capacity as the cell. IBM released the Power 7 processor earlier this year and is developing a Power 8 processor that is expected to be released for 2013 years. (Digging the shell net)
