Pretty ironic that the PS3 is the only console that hasn't been cracked itself. The architecture of the PS3 just allows fast calculations like any powerpc. It's just cheaper.

As could be expected PC CPU: 10--15 million cycles per second vs PS3 Cell 1.4 billion cycles per second.

The PS3 is a number crunching powerhouse, also interesting:

"TOKYO, Nov. 28 -- Fixstars Corporation today announced that the company developed the new "CVCell" module aiming to accelerate several important OpenCV APIs for the Cell Broadband Engine. CVCell achieved up to 27 times faster performance in image processing compared to Intel Core2Duo 2.4 GHz."
