How fast were they?

Not a single technical comparison rates the cell processor as anywhere NEAR 20 times faster than an Intel Q6800, not even REMOTELY close.

Stop pulling numbers out of your ass, and start citing sources.

 

 The Q6800 is a single processor that costs 3x as much as a PS3.

I bet that a Blue-Gene computer is MUCH MUCH faster than a PS3. Infact, I bet it's thousands of times faster than a PS3. Infact, I bet it's HUNDREDS of thousands of times faster than a home PC.

If you wanna count a *real* computer.

8 blade CELL cluster, 20terrabyte HDD bank, and 1terrabyte RAM.

Now that is a HELL of alot faster than a PS3. I'm speaking about the 1500$ range computers.
