And just how cheap is a custom-designed floating point
capable parallel SIMD ALU going to be? nVidia and ATI
(er, AMD/ATI) have truckloads of money to invest in
design and fabbing. OGF doesn't.
Regardless of the cost of designing a better solution, my point is
that using a general purpose CPU is likely to be infeasible, because
the price will be too unattractive for the hardware to be profitable.
