Especially at the current time, networking is not a viable platform to increase processing speed. I guarantee it never will be.
the only way they could promise this without lying would be to have each of the critical components removable and upgradeable, which we all know is not going to happen. Plus, it's already been shown that Cell is great for floating point math, but not for much else. It's doubtful that the "multiple core" complex people have right now is going to bear greater numbers than single cored AMD64's in the very near future.
