Thanks for the numbers, they always help putting things in perspective. I will try to document myself on the subject when I have some free time because I'm curious about GPU/CPU trends.

From a layman's point of view anyway, CPU rendering don't seem so underwhelming by what you said. Having Mflops in the same range of a year old GPU, or the progress in numbers between earlier cells and the newest ones look impressive to me, if projected forward again to a 2-3 years time span (if next gen consoles have to have their specs fixed by say 2011).

Again, my impression from 10 miles height is that CPUs are moving into GPUs territory faster than GPGPUs can really claim their GP moniker (sp? sorry but english is not my language).

Anyway, thanks for an interesting thread in the sea of mediocre sale analysis :)
