Hmm, I seem remember having replied to this. Oh well, my response:
1) Cell is hype, and it won't live up to that hype
2) It's nearly impossible for games to take advantage of SMP situations effectively, so they will see little benefit.
3) If they do see a major benefit it will require enormous work by developers
4) Processing power does not scale linearly with number of CPUs. two CPUs are not twice as fast as one.
5) I'll reserve final judgement until the thing comes out.
