Pretty interesting. So 3-3ghz cores vs 7-3ghz SPEs? Seems like a no brainer to me. 7 elements can be processed in parallel versus only 3. Just to be accurate, I guess I should say 6 elements since he mentioned 1 is used for the OS.
To be honest I always analyzed the PS3 as a supercomputer, Sony could continue to use it for the next generation with an upgraded GPU, and maybe add a true core. It seems like it is easily upgradable at a cost effective amount, which is precisely what a supercomputer is.
