The PS3 Will Cure Cancer??

Since 2000, Folding@Home (FAH) has led to a major jump in the capabilities of molecular simulation. By joining together hundreds of thousands of PCs throughout the world, calculations which were previously considered impossible have now become routine. FAH has targeted the study of of protein folding and protein folding disease, and numerous scientific advances have come from the project.

Now in 2006, we are looking forward to another major advance in capabilities. This advance utilizes the new Cell processor in Sony's PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) to achieve performance previously only possible on supercomputers. With this new technology (as well as new advances with GPUs), we will likely be able to attain performance on the 100 gigaflop scale per computer. With about 10,000 such machines, we would be able to achieve performance on the petaflop scale. With software from Sony, the PlayStation 3 will now be able to contribute to the Folding@Home project, pushing Folding@Home a major step forward.

interesting but, taking SETA as an example, i find it improbable.

[kingboy]

i bet soon u`ill hear people saying,sony said this..

[omansteveo]

Kingboy is lame

[kingboy]

[Cyberoach]

the Forman Grillstation 3 grills steaks, cures cancer, and is a Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine

[MONOLITHICIDE]

[Boink]

that was funny, I see the point they make though.

sony PR guys should get moving on this, they could use the positive:)

[Marriot VP]

Change the frickin title, some find it offensive and it's just fool hardy. Say something like the Cell provides a jump in medical cpu possibilities.

[Sexius Maximus]

This is NOT a knock on the PS3, but it goes to show that the Cell is a GREAT chip, however, it's creation was meant for general processing and NOT specifically for gaming. Sony should've picked a gaming oriented processor, but they'll make more money if they use their Cell.
(this comment has nothing to do with the xbox360)

[Ken Kutaragi]

Wow, now i can get cured. WIth all this confusion No wonder I was making these ridiculous contraptions called playstations... I shouldve been working for Nintendo the whole time.

[Cyberoach]

This machine does everything, too bad it isn't very good at playing video games.

[kingboy]

trust me if it wasn`t that good ur @ass wouldn`t post here.that alone is proof

[FKN Unbelievable]

Besides did i mention that i have 6 Million Units By Launch along with Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidgee Racerrrrrrrrrr.

[HiSpeedSoldier61]

How can such a surprising,promising news post like this can receive instant bashing from anyone I don't know,maybe because the 360 lonely boys will take whatever opportunity they can get to unjustly bash the ps3,while making absolutely no sense and without stating any fact.

Xbox loyals like Cyberroach claim the ps3 is "no good for playing games",yet the little dumba@@ and his nerd followers act like they have all had a chance at the ps3 already, like they have already played and had first-hand experience with all of the ps3's VERY promising launch titles(which look a lot more next generation than the generic crap x box 360 launched with)We can bash and talk how much the 360 sucks because its already here,its crapiness and unevolutionary promise is known and seen by all.By bashing how much the ps3 already sucks as a gaming machine is only more proof of how jealous the 360 loyals are getting.

[FKN Unbelievable]

I am your god and i say the PS3 Will be the best smoking....Literally this freaking thing is huge,Untamable and Faulty. How can i sell this to a 14 year old? I know how i'll tell him(Parents and other mindless drones in Japan and America.)it a Super computer and a George Foreman Hibachi Grill (cause everyone loves Goerge) to make sushi and hamburgers while you wait for game and BD's to load or Surf the Internet.

[ChickeyCantor]

I would certainly feel real prestiged and honoured while owning a system that has a worldwide appeal. It not only creates wonderful worlds but helps in its accompanying world as well, to find solutions to critical problems ! AWESOME !!!

[Microsoft Master]

The Xbox 360 took my company years of hard work, and there is much more in the way to come. In mid-february 2007, we will have switched to a 65nm process for our CPU, so not only will we be able to downsize the current CPU, it will allow us to further cool the console. So starting in February 2007, i am pleased to announce a smaller, cooler, newly redesigned Xbox 360 will hit stores in North America, with Europe following in April, Japan in May, and the rest of Asia in July.

[FKN Unbelievable]
