| After decades of listening about Central Processing Units, years of listening about Graphic Processing Units and millimoments of listening about audio processing units, it is time to learn the new term. It's time to start talking about physics processing units (PPUs). |

seems cool but it would be nice to see it on graphics cards to make them cost even more  |

Given that from what I read they're likely to cost in the realms of $200 (I admit they'll likely have more than one model, but hey, don't shoot the messenger) I doubt it would be added onto a GPU anytime soon. GPU manufacturers are having enough trouble with the transistor counts and costs and such as it is.
Besies, the point of a hardware accelerator is to do one thing very well. ONE. That would kind of defeat that purpose. |
