    Wow! The info about Power8's inclusion of what could be considered the successors to the SPEs is interesting.
    But the 3D stack technology really tops that off. I hadn't expected that for some time.
    The announcement about directly linked memory is a little vague, so I'd be interested in seeing how that plays out.

    It sounds like Power8 will be a significantly different platform to code for.
    And the 2013 date sounds about right for a PlayStation 4 introduction, although I'd be surprised to see use a derivative of this.

    Produced at 22 or 28nm? Should allow for better clocking.
