Q6600 Vs PS3 Cell

[Strider]

I've had friends tell me that the Cell processor in the PS3 (with a total of 8 x 3ghz SPE's) would knock lumps out of my new stock Q6600.

I'm not remotely interested in consoles, but out of interest, which is quicker?

My new rig:

Q6600, 3 Wd Raptors 36.7gb (raid 0), 2gb 1ghz Dominator Ram, 7800 Gtx (TTL >6 months), Asus Commando.

PS3 Spec;

Isn't the 7 SPE cores of the Cell Cpu of the PS3 basically 7 co-processors?
I read this last night before starting of the thread;
Cell - Wikipedia

Somewhere on there I'm certain it mentions that the 7 cores of the cell act as co-processors, limited to mathmatical calculations (although I previously thought the Cpu only processed mathmatical calculations).

I'm guessing (by guessing, I mean, I'm not a CPU architect, although I wish I was) that the 7 co-processors would make an excellent AI engine for the PS3, if only total war was available for the PS3.
