"1 or more of the 6 CPU threads can be "slaved" to the GPU, so the GPU would actually dictate all program flow through that chip. This would be especially useful in the procedural synthesis/dynamic geometry that MS is talking up a storm about." What are the implications for games? Does Cell/RSX have this feature?
