From Ps3 architecture to comparing PS3 RSX and PC G70

Ok, something occured to me here... 2GB/s to the south bridge right? OK, well, speaking of BC... some of the possible configuration/ideas worked out for BC had the EE sitting on the south bridge, but I would imagine 2GB/s wouldn't be enough for intercommunication between EE and... well, whatever it is. Does this mean we nix the EE on the south bridge theory?

EDIT:: Ack, ok, my bad it's 5GB/s ... still the question applies, is this enough?

Hey Titanio are you a member of GAF. I guy there said about the same things that you said. So does this demo make you feel better about extreme physics being fully doable on the PS3?

I am a member of GAF (you can prob guess who)

This demo in and of itself does not say a whole lot about "extreme" physics, if you want to put it that way. But other "things", other comments from devs, official and "anonymous" type comments that have been floating around are pretty encouraging as far as something more like that goes. But more solid information is IMO required to be more certain, hopefully we'll get more commentary from devs as time passes.

It's unfortunate that I feel that this conference kind of flew under the radar of our usual tech publications in Japan, because it seemed to have info ebyond what it's conference title implied.

Seriously beyond the XDR-2 stuff I had no idea there could have been such a Cell presence: thanks to One on that count!

Anyway I think their running such a demo on the SPE is a very good sign with regard to their (the SPE's) future functionality and range of applications inside the PS3. As mentioned benchmarks would be needed to see how useful, but theres no other way to look at it than as a positive sign I feel.
