@ssj12: Look again, they're using 4 SPEs, not 3. They're not using them at full steam though, as evidenced by the big blank areas in the diagram.
The only thing Killzone 2 (and likely most PS3 games) are using at full steam is the PPE. It's not how the Cell was designed to be used, which should tell us something.
The PPE was, by most accounts, intended for controlling the SPEs and putting their work together. Instead, it's being used left and right for almost all tasks. It's not hard to imagine PS3 developers wishing for more PPEs (hint: it's called the Xenon).
