Any time someone says "It uses x% of the consoles power!" they are wrong and they are very very silly for saying such things.

Consoles and PCs simply do not work in terms of usage percentages, there are far too many parts of any system that can be the bottleneck in any number of scenarios within an application for any number like this to be anything but pulled out of someone's ass.

Its a nice soundbyte for consumption of those who don't know better and are willing to gobble it up.  Outside of that its useless...utterly.

Please read this people.   It's really ridiculous to claim you're using X% of a systems power because X% of system power is a metric that cannot be calculated.

Using 50% of the available SPE's does not, I repeat, does not mean it's using only 50% of the PS3's power.
