Thats not completely true. In the medical field, which is a real world application, the CELL destroys the i7 because it can render 3d medical images in a fraction of the time it would take even the Core i7 275. The CELL is also faster at encoding and decoding video which is why Toshiba created the Spur Engine which contains 4 SPEs to assist a general processor like the i7s.
