I wonder what Gabe will say about this. It's the sort of thing he hates and ATI, Nvidia and IBM are all talking about going down this road.


One thing this article makes me think of is how bad for Sony! If this is the way forwar, PS3 will not last 5 years let alone the 10 Sony thought. It will hurt them more than MS as they invested heavily for PS3.


Eh? What they are desrcibing is very similar to the Cell. In fact IBM are talking about using the Cell for this purpose.


Uh? did you read the same article? Neither PS3 or 360's graphics chips (which is what they are talking about) are capable of doing what they are saying hence, in a few years Pc's will be way ahead of this gens Consoles. They are talking about taking the load off of CPU's.


The article has nothing to do with this generation. It is about the future of gaming. If this is bad news for the PS3 then it is equally bad for the 360 and terrible news for the Wii since none of them use a set up like this. PC's were way ahead of the PSone and PS2 a couple of years after they were released, it hardly hurt their lifetimes.
