It's hard to believe, because 1,2 TFLOP is so underwhelming for 3 billion... |
It was $400m but the CELL was just a CPU tho, and that was just the R&D budget not including the licensing costs over the life of the console. An APU with CPU and GPU (and custom memory system with ESRAM, etc) plus licensing over the life of the console is of course going to cost a lot more than just R&D of a CPU.
