Mr. Hofstee is one of the 5 top IBM people that started work on STI's
CELL processor.


Edit: thanks to Mfa on Beyond3D for the pointer ( he mentioned this in
a thread, but no link was given ).




Edit #2: No Ken Kutaragi in sight for now. He was present in the
January 1999 presentation of the Emotion Engine ( it was not known as
the Emotion Engine yet ) at the IEEE conference. We have CELL, we have
a Sony guy present. Well, we will have to see how far into CELL they
go.

You may be surprised to hear this, but there are actually three different
game consoles currently available at this very moment. And you won't be able
to buy these new consoles for a couple of years.

Just a PSA.
