Use wikipedia, it usually knows stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon_(processor)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(microprocessor)#Power_Processor_Element_.28PPE.29 read this and the next paragraph. That's what they have in comon.

Thanks for those links.

If I read this right, a Cell chip has one PPE and several SPEs and the chip that IBM developed for the xbox360 has 3 cores which are based on a slightly modified version of the PPEs used in the Cell chip.

That's it, right?

That is correct.

Then, saying that the CPU of the xbox360 is based on the Cell chip is true!

Short answer yes, long answer no.
