I'm so glad Ascended has been able to find and post some good articles on this topic.

I'll keep pushing it, that's for sure. Until developers 'grow up' and realize that just because it's different does not mean it's not as easy once learned, we won't see the PS3 even being tapped at all.

This kind of rendering without even using a GPU is proof positive of the capabilities of Cell and the PS3 regardless of the 'RAM' and 'GPU' issues Xbox fanboys like to spew out. Those things don't matter so much at all with Cell. Period. They are just supplemental little things... like dust.

you must also keep in mind that there's more going on in a game then what they're showing in the ray tracing demo not to mention the low amount of ram available. the cell is by no means tapped, but i have a feeling we'll never see its full potential in games for other reasons
