It couldn't run Windows. Therefore there is no market. It is faster for certain workloads, but general PC workloads aren't included in that, and anything which needs the kind of FP it can provide would be better off with a newer GPU like the HD4k/5k or GTX2xx.
It could run Linux (and used to, on PS3).
But it would never work as a desktop chip. Toshiba put half a Cell in some laptops for video encoding and performance/quality wasn't great but sales didn't justify the additional costs.
