To put this render job in perspective I just ran one frame of this scene through 3dsMax’s default ray-tracer an it took my Centrino Duo (dual core x86) machine one hour eight minutes to render what Cell and the iRT renders in less than one half of a second.

this means that at certain tasks CELL is around 10 000x more powerful than a dual core INTEL CENTRINO.
a certain task completed by CELL in 1/2 second.
same task completed by CENTRINO (dual core ) in1 hour 8 minutes..........
This means we can obtain photorealism even without RSX.....CELL alone is capable of producing magic.
