Of course it will - the P$3 is far behind what computers of the same price can do.

http://www.geekpatrol.ca/2006/11/playstation-3-performance/ estimates the Cell Broadband Engine's performance for normal tasks (not using the very-hard-to-program-for SPEs) is slightly worse than the Power Mac G5, itself a superseded core.

The only reason these cores (in a P$3) are being considered for use in super computers is because Sony's selling them at a loss in the first place.

Sony selling them at a loss is the "only" reason that cells are being considered, or do you mean deployed, in super, yeah zarking SUPER computers. they're not even the primary manufacture. you're right that dumbass little IBM doesn't know what the hell they're doing. you fanboy comeback with something more substantial. i always try to get my super computers at discount. also, any of you stupid enough to listen to ANY of these companies hype should be shot in the head. this is so stupid.............sigh
