Killzone 2 only uses 60% of the PS3's SPU's

Either way I think Uncharted 2, GoW 3 and GT5 will look at least as good as Killzone 2.

The original Cell processor design from IBM calls for 8 SPUs, but the PS3's has one disabled to improve production reliability.

Of the remaining 7 SPUs available to the PS3, 1 is reserved for the system, with the option of a 2nd that the system may requisition at any time, so game developers really have to operate within 5 SPUs, with only light non-essential work going on the 6th if they want to use it at all.
