Even though it could slow down tasks from GPU to the CELL you can greatly speed up tasks going CELL to GPU. Each SPE can run 3 tasks (but can be forced to do 4 if they are small tasks) so you can have physics calculations running on an SPE and unload it to the GPU to render what was calculated speeding up the rendering time. |
All of which has nothing to do with fillrate, which is what lets you run at 1080p vs. 720p at 60 frames per second. I have the same 600 page document you're talking about, the question is, did you actually understand it? |
I understood it pretty well. Had to reread parts a few times. I was responding just to Non Sequor's comment
