yes, but if the Cell helps to render dx10-quality visuals, it's not going to have ANY resources left over for AI or physics.

The IBM Cell Processor only needs 3 SPEs to out perform the G80 in Floating Point Calculations / Second (FLOPS). Developers can use the other 5 for AI, physics, etc.

And remember, this is the Cell alone. The RSX isn't being used.

But you just said this.... where's your chart to prove your statement? First you say the Cell doubles the g80 in GFLOPS now your sayin oh no its made for ray-tracing?

While your at it why don't you go ahead and link me to the folding@home site that says the PS3 is contributing the most.

Because i can link you to the offcial donor list for Folding@home and i dont see ps3 near the top.

I clicked that blog link and immediately burst out laughing.

lol! nice. i didnt believe it when i saw it. but look at this video of the cell doing 3d renderings all by itself! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehwFOM4CBKA

Way to ignore the post i just made about how Horrowhip proved you wrong. And how Folding@home and SETI@home have both been on hte PC for years. Not to mention groups of PC users are the biggest contributors to them.

I thought we were talking about the CELL.

The PS3 has done more important things than just play video games. The PS3 is helping Stanford University simulate protein folding to cure serious diseases like cancer. Please help the people suffering form diseases related to mis-foldings in proteins.

Thanks to the CELL and RSX, the PS3 alone made stanford reach the PETAFLOP (over 1000 TERAFLOPS) scale and put this project a major step forward. Please run Folding@Home on your PS3 when you can.

You can also get a cool sig like mine that shows your folding stats.

Riiiiight because SETI@home and Folding@home havent been on the pc for years? Yes yes, its all the ps3.

Oh What about that chart horrowwhip posted earlier that proved you wrong about the GFLOPS? We'll just ignore that, that's not relevent here

[QUOTE="cobrax75"]a 720p TV runs on the resolution of 1280 by 720....my monitor has a resolution of 1680 by 1050....notice how that is higher.iMacBot

That's the point of my topic: the 720 is HD, the 1050 is not... Microsoft and Toshiba explained everything when they released their HD-DVD technology, please you guys... anyways good night.
