The best example I can come up with to explain the difference between the Cell and the Xeon processors is this ...

You have to different landscaping companies one which is made up of 3 intelligent and independant working partners and another company with an intelligent boss and 7 moronic but hardworking employees. When given a task like digging a ditch where the instruction and supervision required is minimal the team with 1 boss and 7 employees dominates through brute force, on the other hand if you have several smaller tasks the the three person can outperform the larger team.
