[QUOTE="zomgwtfbbqlol1"] kewl thnx for linkhorrowhip
But It does prove one thing..
Theoretically, the cell should be slightly slower than the Xeon cores...
Depends on the methodology, but it is possible it could get like a 50% increase over Xeon in ideal conditions but that scene would only get like 18FPS max with a single Cell processor... Disable cores to get a PS3 level Cell and you are talking 12FPS max...
And that scene renders at 1024x1024 resolution, has 234K triangles and 4 million rays...
In terms of what a game running with a ray tracer would look like... It would be horrible.
At BEST cut the video you saw in half to account for moving objects and action. then slice another large portion off for AI. And another off for textures. And another off for physics...
yea but also the graphics card would help, and a scene like (page 12, figure 18 ) is far above consoles, in detail too, but by the sound of it, the PS3 at max maybe able to do some minor bitsalso the Xenon is only 2.6 ghz, while the cell is 3.2 ghz if that would make much of a difference
