Be more efficient on other CPUs as well, extensive knowledge of multi-threading, better understanding of how the underlying hardware operates, etc.
On heterogeneous platforms, yes, but there isn't many of those when it comes to games. :)
I strongly believe by extensively working with the Cell, it will do wonders for people's resume as a coder in the future.
What you believe isn't really always true. If theres only homogeneous gaming platforms in the future, all time you have wasted on PS3 won't be that good on resume.
However the Cell will see new versions and more products based on this technology, most likely including the PS4.
And if PS4 is homogeneous platform... All time with PS3 is wasted time. I am quite sure that PS4 will be homogeneous one. It would be like a suicide to make it heterogeneous. Because of current design sony has lost more money it might never get back during the lifetime of PS3.
