The xbox 360 already uses an IBM CPU based on the Cell chip, so going for a Cell chip with the nextbox wouldn't be much surprising (even more now that developers are finally able to develop for it with the PS3).


The blded is not true. The general purpose processing core (1) of the CellBE is simmilar to the general purpose processing cores (3) of the Xbox360 CPU. Then the CellBE has 8(7) higly specialized cores blablabla...completely different.

Surely you are right, I assumed that both chips had something in common as I read that IBM used some of the knowledge they gained when developing the Cell to develop the chip of the xbox360.

My bad.
