It would require a compiler that takes advantage of the SPE units to run well.  IBM has one (no idea about the cost) used for professional development.  It is not a simple chip to program for and without extensive work done on parallel processing it doesn't perform up to potential.  Once that work is done on the software it should outmatch any PC hardware.
