Do you guys think there's any chance of a third major player in CPU production in future. Mabye the likes of Nvidia for example ? Or mabye even Microsoft with a CPU that is optemised for their operating system ?
 
I know it would take a huge amount of money, tech knowhow and a fair amount of risk, but take cell technology for example. Its not meant for computing, but it has the capability, at least in teory. It would be nice to see another superpower enter the arena.
 
Just been googling a bit and got these headlines.

IBM Makes First Cell Processor-Based Computing Systems Available

PlayStation 3 chip to debut in IBM desktop

It sounds like they will initially be for workstation and graphics intensive applications, but at least its a step forward. High powered computers are used for this purpose today as it is anyway. Interesting times ahead I hope.
