thetonestarr like already said it's not "something akin". If it were then the PS3 CPU would be 2x as powerful as the Xbox 360 CPU in real world tests.
It isn't, it's actually pretty much equal and has more than double the number of cores at the same speed. Not a direct apples for apples comparison but yours is far worse and completely illogical.
