Sounds like they're using the IBM wire speed processor in the dev kits.

The final chip could thus be a cut down version of it with the 360's AltiVec added.

16 cores of that will be an absolute beast!





I found the rumours of the PS4 to be interesting.
So far all I've heard is it'll be x86 based but frankly it sounds like it'll be *slower* than the PS3.

If the PS4 is to be more powerful than then it either has a monster GPU or they've gone with Cell again.
