NVIDIA/AGEIA Q&A [Feb 05, 2008, 11:18 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
NVIDIA AGEIA PhysX Acquisition Q&A on FiringSquad talks with NVIDIA's Derek
Perez about the acquisition of AGEIA, a fellow all-caps hardware company. He
uses the same "heterogeneous computing model" phrase used yesterday to announce
the move (story), an interesting take, since it sounds like they
plan to homogenize AGEIA's PPU onto their GPUs, saying "Physics is a natural for
processing on the GPU." As for existing stand-alone PhysX cards, he says: "We
will continue to support the current line of Ageia products that are on the
market today."
a smart move by nVidia but for us consumers it will be at _least_ a year away before we have any reason to buy a new video card with this physics chip on it.
