So....the Cell has similar performance to both a GPU and CPU together? Doesn't change the fact that the Cell is still a processor only
Correct, the Cell is a flexible CPU. Any tech enthusiast or specialist who looked at the Cell should easily realize that how this performance can be harvested and utilized is far more flexible. You can have the Cell accelerate any type of software use.
The RSX can actually generate more GFlops than the Cell, but why am I so fond of the Cell and not per se the RSX (which is a good fit for what the Cell does technically speaking). Well, that power can't really be used in a flexible manner (just like is the case regarding all othe current GPUs).
