Games "Yesterday, I was among a few lucky journalists in New York City who got a rare chance to play a collection of new games on the eagerly awaited Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming console. In short, I was impressed. The brain, capable of one teraflop, is three symmetrical IBM cores running at 3.2 GHz each. Stellar graphics performance is provided by a 500 MHz custom ATI graphics processor and backed up by super fast memory, 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM that is shared with the CPUs via a unified memory architecture."

If by 'general...' then I think we will have to wait and see which chip has more applications. You will note that IBM/Toshiba/Sony have big plans for Cell and other vendors are already coming out with products based on cell. How many products are based on xenon. Seems xbox360 is the only one. Which probably means that cell is more general purpose and probably more general.... too.
