By the end of 2010, worldwide cell processing capacity reached approximately 30 gigawatts, a growth rate exceeding 50% over the prior year.
FORBES: Evergreen Solar Bankruptcy Illustrates Toxic Mix Of Debt, Falling Solar Prices
The Sony -ibm- Toshiba Cell chip has nine miniature processing units.
Cell chips are well suited to processing streams of video and sound, and for modelling the complex three-dimensional worlds of video games, so Cell's debut will be in Sony's next-generation games console, the PlayStation 3, which is expected to contain four of the beasts.
Fifteen years from now, people will write how your light bulb contains more processing power than your first cell phone.
FORBES: Is The PC Market Dead? It Depends On Your Perspective
It can be patterned alongside a microprocessor, combining in one unit all the memory and processing power a PC, cell phone or personal organizer needs.
Both genes help in building and transporting proteins and making sure they're in the right place in cell structure -- a process called RNA processing.
CNN: Gene linked to some cases of Lou Gehrig's disease found
The Japanese firm is pinning its hopes on the processing power and storage capacity of its new console, which will include a revolutionary processing unit based on the new Cell chip, developed with IBM and Toshiba.
In New Zealand Scion Research works to convert the waste stream from pulp and paper processing into a blend of microbial cell wall debris and plastic called polyhydroxyalkanoate, or PHA. Plant a PHA flower pot into the ground and and it biodegrades.
Cell phones had cameras for at least that long before the traditional photo taking and processing business was seriously threatened.
FORBES: Your Job Is In Jeopardy. It's Not Fair. Deal With It. (Here's How.)
Cell-phone conversations and other forms of multitasking may slow down the mental and visual processing required to gauge the distance and speed of oncoming cars, the study suggests.
Also important, this processing power combined with advanced digital radio interface and signaling capabilities enables small-cell base stations to operate in a more efficient and dynamic mesh network, as opposed to a relatively static, point-to-point macro only system.
FORBES: The Solution For The Bandwidth Shortage? Better Silicon Devices
Current research in audio processing includes noise suppression and continuous speech recognition, which can be applied as much to cell phones as to voice-controlled telematic devices in vehicles.
Chicory already is pitching designs for accelerating the processing of video and audio streams, as well as accelerators for converting code written for cell phone chips designed by ARM, the British shop, into code that can be read by Pentiums and other chips.
