I don't see a connection either, but I see applications well outside gaming for this chip 'marriage'. Think about the possibility of tying medical records at a hospital with 3D rendering of CAT scans and so on, all stored and accessible from 1 location - the mainframe.

Or one similar to it? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18325591/ I have had several people (some retired from programming, some not involved in IT) send me links to this or similar articles about IBM preparing to turn z/Series into some super gaming system. Could this be related to why IBM pulled the notification on patent licensing, and decided to go after PSI while shutting off FLEX-ES systems?
