PS3 doesn't have 8 cores...


Strictly speaking it has 9.

1 PPE Main Core

8 SPE Satellite Processors

However 1 SPE is disabled to improve chip yields and 1 is reserved for the OS leaving 6 for gaming


SPEs aren't cores.

So one cannot classify calling the PS3 variant of the Cell CPU as a multi core processor? I don't think so.
