David Shippy was merely involved in the PPE project (hence his efforts on the Xenon) as well. He wasn't "the lead designer of the Cell processor".

Refer to http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3904/processing_the_truth_an_interview_.php

"The co-authors of 'The Race For A New Game Machine', David Shippy and Mickie Phipps, were two leading figures in the design of the Cell at the Sony-Toshiba-IBM design center"
