I'm more interested in the Sony CPU design, seven non identical cores each optimised for different tasks? Wonderful!

*goes to read up on PS3 CPU to see if he's talking crap*

Yeah that would be a good idea.

The PS3 cpu has 1 relatively simple general purpose cpu and 8 SPE's which are roughly programable dsp. All 8 spe's are identical but can be running different code. The PS 3 is planned to use only 7 spe's to improve yields by allowing one spe to be defective. arstechnica has some good articles if you want to read more about it.
