Cell's Integer performance - clarification?

[Titanio]

After MS's claims at being "better" at Integer processing, I was wondering how Cell stacks up, exactly? Everyone focusses on the SPE's floating point performance, but what is their Integer performance? How does it compare to the PPE?

I thought I had read somewhere that there were 4 integer units on each SPE, just as there are 4 floating point units, for 25.6Gops per second per SPE.? 179.2 Gops per sec for the whole PS3 CPU, minus the PPE? I'm aware that integer may not take the same precedence on the SPEs as floating point, but the computational potential purely from an execution unit POV looks to be the same?

Do we know the integer performance of the three cores in X360?

This claim has nagged at me, mostly because I haven't been able to derive everything myself to see if it's true or not Thanks for any help!

One interesting aspect of the floating point pipeline is that the same arrays are used for floating point computation as well as integer multiplication. As a result, integer multiplies are sent to the floating point pipeline, and the floating point pipeline bypasses the FP handling and computes the integer multiply.

Cell integer is just as capable as Cell FP. I think when MS said integer, they meant 'general purpose' workloads. Branches, random memory access etc.
