Well, I am not sure about it either. Googling it I found this:

Lol, from the stupid page:

CPU – Cell Broadband Engine X @ 3.2GHz – 16PPE’s – 128 SPE’s

This chip, manufactured in 45nm, would have a die size of approx (16*6.5 + 128*11.3 + >100) mm^2, approx. 1600mm^2, in 28/32 nm approx 1100mm^2. Such a megamonster die  is IMPOSSIBLE to manufacture. NVidia is the company that makes megadies that are around 550mm'2 and these are EXPENSIVE chips to make.

Maybe I am more tired than I think, but how your math works out? I counted (in my head) that the die size at 28nm would have to be 700mm^2. That is the roughly the same as the highest die size for processor that I have heard of.

So it would be possible according to my math, but not likely.
