Is the sony cell CPU really as powerful as they make on ? I read a quote saying 1000 fold processing power increase, just hype ?

Also the rumor that xbox2 will have a 3.5 Ghz G5 in it ? arnt IBM stcuk @ 2.5 Ghz (water cooled) G5 in the mac ?



Cheers

I would just wait when the cpu arrives for retail and read all the reviews about. There's no sense arguing about its processing power when we don't even have the chip yet.;)
