No, it has one 3.2Ghz PPE (an IBM Power-based CPU) with 7 CELLs (or SPEs) attached to it.

The cells are not full processors. They rely on the PPE to delegate specific tasks to them. They are very limited in function, and because of time/manufacturing constraints, they can only do single precision FP work. It remains to be seen how useful they'll be in the real world.

Again: The one CPU in the PS3 is composed of 1 PPE and 7 SPEs.

It's ignorant to think so at this stage, not only that, not everyone likes the same type of games, hell i'd rather buy a dreamcast than an Xbox360 or a PS3 ;) Am i less of a gamer?

Not in terms of who won the console wars, just specs wise.
