whats peoples thoughts + erections

Well the results show god performance in games and applications that are not really played any more ;p Vantage is a mute point since it's not reflective of current gaming performance! Show me the money screenshots, show me Crysis, show me COD4, Show me Alan Wake!!!! DNF!!!!! BLAAAA!!!!!!!

IMO ATI with HAVOK have way more potential than PhysX for mass gaming.

“IMO ATI with HAVOK have way more potential than PhysX for mass gaming.”
I don’t see why. There are no games planed that we know of with GPU Havok support and few Havok games come out anymore its losing ground to PhysX.

ATi don’t seem to be pushing for GPU physics anywhere near as much as Nvidia who already have a decant line up.

Because Intel own them and probably intend to implement Havok into Larrabee, chances are they've started throwing marketing bucks at developers and we'll start hearing about it in a couple of months.

I find it very hard to believe Intel are going push Havok for both GPU and CPU as it takes business away from Intel. It makes more sense and I find it more likely Intel push Havok for the CPU and try and get developers to do it on their CPU meaning no push for ATI GPU. But can there CPU match a GPU?
Everything I have seen says Intel’s CPU is going be far slower at physics then a GPU.
