IBM has officially released its first computing system based around the Cell Broadband Engine or what we now call Cell BE. Cell BE was originally developed by IBM, Sony and Toshiba for use in consoles. By using multi-core architecture and ultra high-speed communications capabilities, Cell BE computers, usually Blade servers, can produce super-computer like performance.
This new blade is designed for businesses that desire dense computing power and unique capabilities of the Cell BE processor to tackle tasks involving graphic-intensive, numeric applications and is available for purchase through the IBM System Cluster 1350.

The IBM BladeCenter QS20 is a Cell BE-based blade system designed for businesses that can benefit from high performance computing power and the unique capabilities of the Cell BE processor to run graphic-intensive applications and is especially suitable for computationally intense, high performance workloads across a number of industries including digital media, medical imaging, aerospace, defense and communications.
