So is the cell spe's "downgrade" confirmed ?

[Mmmkay]

In fact if the blogwriter was using B3d as his source..that makes no sense because while B3d had SPECULATED about the SPE reserved, it had never been confirmed here. In fact Titanio and the like would always be sure to call it "only speculation" or something like that.

It was only confirmed here AFAIK AFTER the blog article more or less spilled the beans!

Absolutely, no credible website would use speculation as fact...

Okay, firstly we're talking about a blog article, so lets put things into perspective

So this begs the question: Since the PS3 doesn't have dual HDMI out, why does it need 96MB for the OS???

96MB was the higher mark. In the final version, it's expected to be less.
