x86 processors include a lot of legacy baggage and non-crucial features, that and the Cell's innovative design is why the Cell processor is both faster in terms of potential as well as taking more effort to redesign game engines for this architecture.
The CPU isn't the only factor though, on PCs the graphics card usually has a much larger impact on games performance than a CPU upgrade.
