My understanding is that Cell tech is really good for multi-threaded apps and apps that REALLY code for it by way of optimized branching and such. As opposed to a modern chip which is geared towards generic code that is not particularly well optimized and benifits from dynamic branch prediction and such. All of which is to say that for the generic app w/ crappy coding, a cell chip is gonna suck ass, whereas if the code is well written for said platform, it will perform much better than on a "regular" chip.
