Seems to be similar than the PS2 IOP chip (I/O Processor)

Some PS2 slim models (dated around 2006) such SCPH-75001, SCPH-77001 uses an IOP chip with partnumber: CXD9209GP photo. The PS3 chip is older because PS3 was designed before 2006

new findings

The CXD9208GP is used as an adapter between the PS3 south bridge and the EE, it has a PCI interface for the PS3 side and a SIF (SBUS) interface for the PS2 side [1]. I've documented the PCI id here: [2]. The chip/package looks very similar to the CXD9731GP SPEED [3] chip. That makes sense since (early) SPEED partly functions as a PCI <-> SSBUS adapter.
