i think my head is turning towards nintendo...

The Nintendo console is also rumored to have a PPU -- a physics processing unit. This would be a first in the console wars. A PPU is a custom processor for handling physics calculations (in the same way that the GPU is a custom processor for handling graphics calculations). Physics calculations include things like collision detection and the modeling of complex objects like moving hair and clothes. Having a PPU would offload all of these calculations from the CPU.

the ppu is because its main processor is not uber enough. and they don't want to give software programmers a challenge.

basically they are trying to throw in something to distract you from last generation technology.

What does that mean? They have a PPU so it has realistic physics because of the way the controller is. You want realism with it.

A dedicated physics processor would be infinitely better than an "uber" CPU anyway. Why do you think they're developing them for the PC as well?
