Haha, you can't really add it up like that.  The architecture between the two is different...
The CPU having to do translation and execution needs to handle the two separately and in different fashions.


Actually, the PS3's CELL processor has more processing power than Intel's Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Quad Core CPU.  The CELL peaks at around 410 GigaFlops per module; the PS3's peaks at around 2 TeraFlops.  Intel's fastest CPU peaks at around 50 GigaFlops.  And, nVidia's G80 graphics card peaks at around 330 GigaFlops.  (note, FLOPS = floating point operations per second).
So, technically, no computer's CPU is faster than the PS3's...

Oh, another thing, SLI actually slows down your CPU...
