IBM has lifted the veil on the chips inside Microsoft's Xbox 360 console.
Under the hood of the game gadget will be 3 processing cores, each running at clock speeds of more than three gigahertz.
Here it says "IBM said the chip features a customized version of IBM's 64-bit PowerPC core. The chip includes three of these cores, each with two simultaneous threads and clock speeds greater than 3GHz."
I say thats I say thats I say thats a lot of processing power...

so thats 1 chip, with 3 cores, each core being dual threaddy. Is that like 2 simultaneous integer units, or .. something a bit more clever that either works twice as hard or half as hard?
3 cores (like the main bit of the cpu) dual threaded, sharing the same cache on the sthe same die. Its the way of the future. More cores same cache....
