91TTZ unfortunately whether you're right or you are wrong, your logic is totally whack. Besides the fact that these chips indeed ARE going to be used in high end equipment, saying don't believe that Cell is 'real' because Sony over-hyped Emotion Engine just doesn't make sense.
You sound like a young kid who lacks the real life experience to make a statement like that.
Right now all we can go by is:
1. Their press announcements about the Cell
2. The real life performance of their previous products compared to the press announcements leading up to them.
Going by their history, which is all we can go by right now, it would seem that they have a history of over-hyping and under-delivering. I expect the cell to be the same case.
I'm sure in a decade or so you'll begin to see things my way. You can only get excited over "revolutionary" product announcements so many times before you wise up and realize it's all hot air.
Remember BitBoys? Elbrus2k? Transmeta? Each of them generated so much hype in their day, but reality wasn't quite as exciting.
