We would remind you that Synergistic Processing Element (SE1000) is a half Cell - it have 4, not 8 processor cores. Nevertheless, the strength of four elements of the SPE-RISC-processor for quick mathematical calculations with a floating point also quite a lot. SE1000 equipped with embedded memory controller (Rambus XDR, 128 MB), which ensures its high throughput - 12.8 GB / sec.
This chip will be excellent to cope with the acceleration of video in MPEG 2 and H.264, until 1080p (Full-HD), which should be even more demand by users of G40, than 3D-applications
Last month, Toshiba agreed with the companies CyberLink, Leadtek, and Corel, who, in their applications targeted to work with video, will support processor SE1000.
