I always thought the Cell would suck for double precision numbers. it has 250Gflops single precision and I thought always just 14 Gflops double precision. So I thought the airforce would use it for some purpose where they just need single precision. But infact the Cell has 80 GFLOPS DOUBLE precision. Which is pretty fast. The 14 Gflops were just because the benchmarks could just measure the PPE and not the 7 SPUs. So the Cell is even more powerful then I thought and you can use it really as a Super Computer for all purposes.
