It is similar in performance to other CPUs that were released at a similar point in time at a similar manufacturing cost. The architecture of the Cell gives it different advantages and disadvantages but it doesn't mean that the CPU is more powerful, only more powerful at some things. Being that the Cell processor is designed for asynchronous processing and the algorithms involved in gaming are not currently very asynchronous, the Cell processor does not offer many advantages when it comes to videogames ...
