Yes, except that the Cell processor is quite DSP like with 8 floating

Hi All,
I was thinking,
we always have dedicated graphic cards for gaming/3D rendering etc..
why don't we have some h/w optimised audio algos running on some
FPGA/DSP/ etc...
Because there isn't enough demand for it. Only musicians have any
serious use for that kind of hardware, whereas half the planet needs
accelerated graphics - especially with all the eyecandy that
Microsoft, Apple, the KDE and Gnome people etc have decided we
need. ;-)
