After see LITTLE BIG PLANET i believe anything is achievable on the ps3 Comment by Barry Minor — March 8, 2007 @ 11:01 am To put this render job in perspective I just ran one frame of this scene through 3dsMax’s default ray-tracer an it took my Centrino Duo (dual core x86) machine one hour eight minutes to render what Cell and the iRT renders in less than one half of a second. http://gametomorrow.com/blog/index.php/2007/03/07/cell-power-at-gdc-2007/ this means that at certain tasks CELL is around 10 000x more powerful than a dual core INTEL CENTRINO. a certain task completed by CELL in 1/2 second. same task completed by CENTRINO (dual core ) in1 hour 8 minutes.......... This means we can obtain photorealism even without RSX.....CELL alone is capable of producing magic. http://www.gametomorrow.com/minor/barry/iRT-Sumary.pdf truely CELL is a monster http://www.gametomorrow.com/minor/barry/city_1080p.jpg ...this is done solely by CELL without RSX LINK TO THE MOVIE:- http://www.gametomorrow.com/minor/barry/city_iRT.mov
