What else can the PS3 power cell do?  I have no idea but here is a new device from Sony to be used is HD video rendering in full Quad-HD resolution!!!  I have a feeling that his is just a short point before we see all home theatre and other multimedia systems using the power-contender.

At the Siggraph 2008 exhibition being held in Las Vegas, Sony on Tuesday announced the first of its ZEGO-branded hybrid multi-core processing platforms for HD video production with the BCU-100 computing unit. The ZEGO platform is based on Sony’s Cell Broadband Engine first seen in its PlayStation 3 gaming console along with RSX graphics technologies, and was developed to cut the processing times of creating and rendering increasingly complex high-resolution visual effects and computer graphics.
