I'm more curious about the subsequent death of PowerPC. Back in the day we had a decent amount of hardware running on that chip.
But on benchmark levels Cell would be competing on different grounds to an X64 and a few PCIe slots right? I've not a clue, I'm curious but I know I don't really know what I'm talking about after this point.
