 The Sony console only has one general purpose in order CPU. And that one seems
to be a rough match to the 'Xenon' core. The additional SPE cores will be pretty
crappy at executing branchy integer code. They are streaming processors by
design.
 So I have a hard time believing it will amount to anything close to a high end
Hammer core.
