How about the Cell?  Surely, especially the newer ones, must be fast enough to handle most desktop work.

The Cell excels are certain tasks.

PS3 uses the Cell processor which is highly unsuitable for an OS, it's really not going to excel in  that environment.

Certainly even the older Cell is much faster than 1Ghz PPC chips.
