This is pretty much just a semantics battle. Where sony is trying to make the cell sound more important than it really is. It's impossible to optimize hardware to 100%, you can consider it practically fully optimized, but never truely optimized.
Also people tend to think that if the ps3 is only using 50% of it's potential now once they get to 90% games will look/run 2x better which is completely false. I think MS tried something simular because Dead Rising was the only game using multiple cores they were claiming developers were only use 33% of the 360's potential (not sure if it was official MS or just some wanna be techie).
Overall it's just best never to listen to anything that ever comes out of Sony's mouth it's likely to be wrong 90% of the time (yes that's an official statistic from the hypothetical statistics department of my brain).

Maybe we should send Al Gore to Mars so he can warn Martians about driving their SUVs.
