This uses FC5 for analysis despite the fact that it's not an 'official'
PS3/Cell distro.
PlayStation 3 Performance

| Turns out the comment was right; Cell processor performance is
| comparable to low-end PowerPC G5 performance (which in turn isc
| omparable to high-end PowerPC G4 performance). I can't comment
| on Altivec performance, unfortunately, since Geekbench for Linux
| PPC doesn't measure Altivec performance yet.

| Geekbench also isn't able to exploit the eight vector processors on
| the Cell processor. Any program designed and optimized for the Cell
| processor should be a lot faster than one designed for a generic
| processor (like, say, Geekbench). So while the Geekbench results
| might seem disappointing, keep in mind that Geekbench can't exercise
| the PlayStation 3 to its full potential.
