The PS3 Cell as a whole is ~218 GFlops. In any case the article is accurate, only your conclusions are wrong. The main thing to take notice of in that article is really that the Cell is able to achieve near its full potential, unlike most other CPUs. |
Nope, one SPE is killed of for higher yields and one at all times is reserved by the OS so you only have six to use.
