Hi Andres!

I came across an article by commercial hardware specialists which may
interest you, and perhaps may be easier to read than the articles from
ibm.  They compare the design approach taken by MS for their Xbox
against the approach taken by Sony for their PS3.  If one takes the
time to review the various recommended references before one pursues the
article itself, the overall gain of this effort could be to have a
better understanding of these different designs (Sony v MS) as well as
their intended function.  Although both Sony and MS are using the
PowerPC architecture, it is how they implement them which affects
their respective functional capacity.  

The article won't make the reader into a hardware specialist, but one
should be able to make better choices regarding which design makes
sense for one's own purposes.  The article helped me approach a better
understanding why programming for the Cell in the PS3 would be not only
more challenging technically, but also much more effective for my own
interests.

The article is here:
