Either I'm reading this wrong, the author doesn't write very well and is making it look like he's saying the 360 uses an Intel chip instead of separating the two or this article is a bunch of BS.
As Phoenix Wright would say: OBJECTION!!!!
Perhaps when saying it is 22Xfaster than the Intel Chip and inferring Intel=360 they're comparing it to the Xbox1?
The Xbox360 uses a tri-core PowerPC chip. The PS3 uses a single core PowerPC cell chip which aside from being 2 cores short of the 360, uses SPEs which are kind of like DSPs(digital signal processors) that are assigned to certain tasks.
This would mean the CORE programming (being the PPC CPU) is the same and the difference is 3 cores vs 1 core and 7 SPEs. I think whoever wrote this article has some facts mixed up.
