PlayStation 3 chip has split personality

[Schultz]

Actually only way i could see the 9 is the cell processor will have 8 cores on it while the other processor might not be a Cell one but designed to do something else.. possibly the I/O process which is the same in the Playstation and PS2 which made it be backwards compatable. Who knows.. But another thing if you want real full info about the Cell process here

i posted that in the other thread but i guess no one read it.. The Cell processor has some very nice benifits if computing starts using them.
