Cell Processor

Cell is a microprocessor architecture jointly developed by a Sony, Toshiba, and IBM alliance known as STI.

Cell is a shorthand for Cell Broadband Engine Architecture, commonly abbreviated CBEA in full or Cell BE in part. Cell combines a general-purpose POWER-architecture core of modest performance with streamlined coprocessing elements which greatly accelerate multimedia and vector processing applications, as well as many other forms of dedicated computation.

The major commercial application of Cell is in Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3 game console which is slated to launch in November 2006. It will also become available in a blade configuration from Mercury Computer Systems. Toshiba has announced plans to incorporate Cell in high definition television sets. Exotic features such as the XDR memory subsystem and coherent EIB interconnect appear to position Cell for future applications in the supercomputing space to exploit the Cell processor's prowess in floating point kernels.

professexual

Someone who has a serious tendency to be attracted to authority figures, particularly people in positions of major power like professors, government officials, people who are called professionals everyday. They start off liking them because of the power those people seem to have and gradually it becomes more about the person and less about the power.

Professional vibe

That vibe that only managers and people with positions above them give off that let others know they are in a position of power. This is usually recognized when they check on you for no apparent reason.
"A random employee just randomly asked me if I was doing alright while I was walking to my table. Total professional vibe."

Professional White Woman

A female social media influencer who has seemingly endless financial resources despite having no discernable skills or qualities other than being attractive.

Typically they can be found in the form of an Instagram model or yoga instructor originating from the central United States (almost always teaching abroad.) Their beliefs tend to be an amalgamized Americanization of various East-Asian cultures which they themselves believe to be a living embodiment of. (This is only elevated if they experiment with psychedelics.) Don't expect them to give any thought to any sort of cultural appropriation because they have already appointed themselves as an exemption. They also see themselves as the white savoir to any foreign land they visit.

Their behavior leans towards them being far more in touch with the universe than the average person. If you have a piece of art or a quote they like, be prepared for an uncredited repost which will result in more likes and views than your "normy" account could dream of. Story posts tend to be about "gratitude" or how enlightened they are about the world around them.

Do not mistake them with a Karen as Professional White Women (or PWWs) are usually more on the mellow side. However, with declines in followers and age they are known to evolve into a Karens as their entitlement goes ungratified.

Becky: "She's a Professional White Woman now."
Jeremiah: "What the hell does that mean?"
Becky: "She's like a social media influencer, but worse."
Jeremiah: "Must be nice to be hot for a living."
