OMG!!!CELL can do realtime RAYTRACING with just software!!!!

[sieanr]

Quake 3 with raytracing, playable on just about any modern PC with good framerates OMFG P4 IS TEH HAXOR PROCESSOR CELL IS NOTING!!!eleven!!!!

CELL outguns just about anything in heavy computational taks including FFT, TRE, CYPTOGRAPHY, STENCIL and LINEAR MATRIX MULTIPLICATION etc.

But it fails in many other areas, like branch prediciton. And too bad it's an in order processor but I guess out of order is too advanced and complex for CELL BM(tm), I'll stick to my pentium pro with "backwards" out of order execution.

so just wait for some time.............and witness the CELL power!!!! BY june we would have a debate over this.

Yes, because K8L will be out then and demolish Cell in almost every way imaginable except meaningless specs. BTW, Crysis looks better than any PS3 game or the Cell raytracing demo you linked to. EDIT: I had no idea pages now scale to posted pics. I thought it would just clip off the edges of the images like before, so sorry if this now wider web page causes problems.
