The blood line of the PLAYSTATION 3? A Cell processor that has been developed by Toshiba, IBM and Sony. The CELL chip contains a main processor and eight sub-processors to unleash 200G Flops (floating point operations per second) of power. And now Toshiba plans to put that chip in mobile devices.

Says Mitsuo Saito, chief fellow at Toshiba's semiconductor company and one of the key creators of the chip:

"Maybe other partners are going onto the very high-end. We are focusing on the low power area. One is for more mobile types of applications such as small games or some mobile phone-like systems. "
