I'm curious if Sony was originally going to go with 36 CUs, but has now upped it to 40, 44, or 48. With their higher clock, I believe that should give them 10.1 Tflops if they go with 40, and 11.1 Tflops if they go with 44, and 12 Tflops if they go with 48. Either one would be acceptable and would also result in much better yields if MS is actually going with 56.
