The biggest problems are his inaccurate statements about stuff he doesn't understand.

May I remind you how often you have repeated your genuinely bogus crap...

 

 You keep mentioning 8 SPE`s for instance when I have mentioned several times before and even articles you yourself link to talk about 6.

You talk about theoretical limits based on 8 SPE`s while there are only 6 and even then theoretical limits can NEVER be reached simply because they are not standalone processors, memory and data has to be fed and cheked from the PPC core etcetera.

 

Quote me then, I said the PS3 Cell has 8 active processors (1 PPE and 7 SPEs). I may sometimes refer to a research document which does tests with all 8 SPEs used, but then I clarify its relationship with the PS3's Cell. And the one SPE used by the OS is not useless or something, it's active and is used for OS related workload.

It's easier on the Cell to reach near its theoretical limits than it is for the Xenon for a varierty of reasons already discussed multiple times over. If you don't agree, take it up with an IBM technical specialist.

Retrasado already set you straight quote and all a few posts up.
