the PS3 motherboard is very advanced

I was checking on youtbe for pc motherboards and I came across with this model the intel skulltrail it has the posibility to put in 2 processors, I once disassembled the 60gig version when it didnt functioned no more and saw that it also had 2 processor, so thats why it has 8 cores, that possibly means 2 processors of 4 cores, I thought it was 1 cpu with 8. So Sony saw into the future or what ? I dont know if the 360 has the same concept but its pretty impressive what a PC with 8 cores can do.
