The Cell CPU has one 3.2Ghz PPE (Power Processor Element) with two threads and eight 3.2Ghz SPE (Synergistic Processing Elements).
The Cell CPU has one 3.2Ghz PPE (Power Processor Element) with two threads and eight 3.2Ghz SPE (Synergistic Processing Elements).


The PPE is a general purpose CPU, while the eight SPE are geared towards processing data in parallel. One SPE is disabled to increase yield, so the PS3 can have at most 9 threads running at the same time (2 from PPE and 7 from SPE). Note that one SPE is reserved for the hypervisor, so PS3 programs can take advantage of 8 threads. Both the PPE and SPE of the Cell are 64 bit, and manipulate data in Big Endian.

== Unsorted ==
=== Cell Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) WARNING ===
Starting with PS3 Slim models CECH-25xx some of the CELL Integrated Heat Spreaders are secured to the CELL processor die with thermal adhesive. Cell processor models with a thinner substrate and black plastic spacer in between the IHS and the substrate may be glued. Removing an IHS that is glued to the Cell will destroy the Cell CPU.

** http://postimage.org/image/hl11y3969/full/ http://postimage.org/image/bbydh5s6v/full/
 
=== IHS size and mounting ===
on a COK-001 the CPU heatspreader is 4.00cm x 4.00cm while the RSX heatspreader is 4.25cm x 4.25 cm - CPU and RSX mountholes are 8.75cm apart and 6.3mm diameter
 
although a PC cooler should fit within these dimensions fine, mounting the 2 (which are also elevated differently from the motherboard) can be problematic
