I didn't see this article mentioned on the forums, yet, so I thought I'd bring it up for those who are interested. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080430-ps3s-cell-cpu-tops-high-performance-computing-benchmark.html It's an interesting article on the PS3's cell processor and how it compares to top high performance computers. If you want even more information, you can read the paper that the article links to. The paper is absolutely fascinating. The cell processor left the others in the dust. They didn't even stand a chance of comparing to it. I love look at my PS3 and realizing that I have one of the most powerful computers out there right in my living room. :-)
