Could CELL be programmed to do OpenRT as efficiently as this chip?
Sure, as soon as a throw linux on a cluster of mac mini's stuffed full of cell procs on the their fire wire busses, using ipod's for storage.
I think i deserve a +5 for mentioning the slashfodder code words "cell processor", "mac mini", "cluster" and "ipod".
Example:
Immagine a cluster of mac mini's each with 5 20 gig ipods and 20 cell processors on their firewire busses rendering ray traced scenery in real time. Surely this must beat the proformance of a highly tuned application implimeted in hardware on an fpga.
