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

washimul said: K8l might never be released..........INTEL has plans to release the 80 core chip in 2010 that can do 1 tf.....that is just a simulated chip they were talking. BY that time we would have SUPER CELL for ps4 that could do 100tfs. CELL excels in all areas ...........by a minimum margin of 20x vs QUAD/any pc core . Even the superscalar X1e fails miserably against CELL. ofcourse in 128k matrix multiplication CELL would zap rivals by 100x EDGE is just out so is IRT.............by JUNE pc/x360 wont exist anymore. havent you been witnessing the ps3 storm in terms of MOTORSTORM CRYSIS uses matured pc tools including DX10 as API + it uses the GFX card too. On the other hand ps3 used just the CELL for raytracing......allow some time for utilzation of RSX + integration of IRT + implementation of new RAPIDMIND SDK (EDGE) + optimization from OPEN GL 2.0 and you would clearly see the results. Just wait till LAIR/HEAVENLY SWORD.

omg. I agree with washimul Intel is gonna be jumping to 80core processors someday in the future. One thing really quick. Last time I checked Cell is already jumping to 100core clusters... just wait till they put 4 or 8 cells on 1 chip... you'd be seeing 1000+ cell clusters running... The Cell is the NEXT supercomputer chip. Intel hasnt EVER held a finger agianst IBMs super computers. Intel, almost got a toe in the market, then BlueGene came out. then 1 year later, the CELL came out. Supercomputers will double in the next 2 years. (in peak performance) useing the CELL... at least.
