Cell-based ZEGO BCU-100 with Sony PS3′s RSX graphics processor

This is the cell-based ZEGO BCU-100 that features the Sony PS3′s RSX graphics processor. The Sony product was on display at Las Vegas’s Siggraph 2008 exhibition.

This product is Sony’s first ZEGO-branded hybrid multi-core processing platform for HD video production.

Sony’s Cell Broadband Engine is well known to many gamers, it’s the very engine that gives the Playstation 3 its massive power. Both the RSX graphics technology and Cell processor are inside the ZEGO BCU-100.

The BCU-100 will be able to process certain types of applications very fast; this includes computer graphics and high-resolution visual effects.

The BCU-100 will hit the U.S. market late in 2008 and thanks to its 1U size it can be mounted in a 19-inch rack. Sony is currently talking to software development companies about the possibilities of BCU-100.
