Having read the WSJ article now, I have to say this doesn't make any sense. They're saying the cores of the 360 chip are derivative of the Cell design (presumably the PPE).
Newsflash, both the Cell's PPE and the 360's three cores are pretty regular PowerPC cores which have existed and evolved for years now. If you have an old Mac laptop, you own one of those. By the way, there's this console called the Wii... yeah, it also has a PowerPC-based CPU.
I really don't see any meat to these claims, but of course I didn't read the book.
