One word? Insanity.
In couple of more words:
- The CPU is hideously expensive.
- SPEs are very hard to program efficiently.
- CELL is no desktop processor.
- There most likely will never be desktop system having one.
- AmigaOS no multiprocessor OS anyway (and don't give me that Hyperion marketing bs about OS4 being SMP ready), and it never will be, so the SPEs would just be expensive "FPU". You could draw analog to PowerUP systems wtih both 68k and ppc. Here it would be the CELL PPE vs SPEs.
- It's lunacy to expect someone to come up with the money required to get the development systems, or to finance any "porting" (porting being impossible anyway as PPE<->SPE is something completely new, you can't just port code to it, you need to rewrite it).
