According to this Newsday report, IBM’s built the world’s fastest computer based on the PS3 Cell chip.
The machine, nicknamed Roadrunner, is built of 7,000 AMD Opteron processors and 13,000 Cell chips. It’s twice as fast, apparently, as the last holder of the record, Blue Gene.
Roadrunner can punch through one thousand trillion calculations per second. Imagine Lara’s hair on one of those, eh?

Stuff her hair, I was imagining something else.
Anyway who am I kidding, I bet the bloody thing’s got a shonky old 16mb 3DFX card in it, in keeping with the amount of VRAM the PS3’s got.
