sharky,

Don't waste your time, TheRealMafoo doesn't understand what he is talking about; he doesn't know the difference between Ray-Tracing and Ray-Casting, and thinks that the cell processor is a super-computer because it is more powerful than a 5 year old processor. He will continue to post links to articles which compare the Cell to outdated processors, or praise its performance in algorithms (like the Fast Fourier Transform) which has absolutely nothing to do with gaming.

He probably doesn't understand the challenges associated with load balancing, concurrency, and the general inefficiency that comes from parallel processing. He can't tell you how implicit solutions to differential equations relates to a physics engine, how a complex number represents a rotation in 2 dimensions (which is the simpler explaination as to why a quaternion represents a rotation in 3 dimensions), or how you can represent a bidirectional reflection map (a 4 dimensional texture) as 2 2D textures to create impressive material effects on modern (and now outdated) GPUs ...

He is a poser ...
