If It's Good Enough for PS3 ...

... it's good enough for a supercomputer. IBM, forever trying to find new outlets for its Cell processor, is building a supercomputer that will sport Cell and AMD's Opteron. The machine, called Roadrunner, is destined for a U.S. government lab, and it would faster than the world's reigning supercomputer, IBM's own Blue Gene L. So either way, IBM wins. Speaking of Cell and PS3, is it any surprise that Sony is delaying the game console launch, in Europe for now? It's like watching Prez Bush mispronouncing words--you know it's going to happen again and again.
