The 360 CPU has 3 cores, the Cell has 1 core and 7 SPUs
Thus, the PS3 has a far higher peak performance. The SPEs are like full processors (or systems on a chip if you will), each having their own dedicated small yet ultra-fast dedicated RAM.
The Cell should be able to deliver much improved, AI, Physics, Procedural Synthesis, etc, nomatter what you may have read elsewhere. If some developers don't move their code onto the SPEs then the XBox 360 may well have an advantage. But it is expected that most 3rd generation PS3 games will have seen the bulk of their game engines moved onto the Cell's SPEs.
