Do you know what I confirm thanks to that thread? That you don't understand what they are talking there. Please read it again and tell me where they say a SPU is better than dedicated hardware doing AA resolve.
Flexibility doesn't equals to high performance. One of the limitations of RSX is that nVidia (unlike ATI since DX9 cards) had fixed AA resolve patterns in it's chips, so you can't create new AA methods/patterns. Doing AA resolve in a SPU is slower than doing it in the dedicated hardware of RSX. The only advantage is that you can chose better patterns, higher number of samples... in non performance critical situations. But AA in SPU is much slower.
