G70 compiler

Perhaps, once developers start working with CG for the PS3, you may see more developers using it as opposed to HLSL.

One thing is sure..Sony is doing research for a shaders compiler for an unreleased GPU (well..it's released now.. ):
Optimal Automatic Multipass Shader Partitioning by Dynamic Programming

That's very interesting. I am curious why Sony is doing it and not Nvidia.

G70 wouldn't last 10 years, RSX should.., moreover on PS3 developers will have to move work from pixel shaders to vertex shaders and SPE to exploit more performance..a compiler able to automatize this process would be quite useful.

That makes sense. A more complex architecture like the PS3 requires an advanced compiler.
