Definitely not claiming to be a game designer (or even a gamer) - don't even know the acronyms...
CELL is the name of the CPU at the heart of PS3, developerd by IBM et al.
SPE is one of the elements of the cell - the "synergistic processing element". Basically a fancy name for the DSP-like cores in the CELL.

Plenty of info on the net if you're interested in more details.
