RE: Nvidia 7800GTX (G70) Revealed
Cell and Athlon may both be CPUs, but that's where the similarities end. They both have different architectures (AMD64 vs PPC), and they have different internal designs.
And the RSX isn't a hybrid NV50/G70 at all. For starters, the NV50 does 32-bit FP, G70 does 64-bit FP, and RSX does 128-bit FP. Not only that, but Sony asked NVidia to make (and I quote) 'the most advanced GPU in the world'. To me, that indicates it's not some hybrid, but a whole new design.
All the info I have on the RSX came from Sony's pre-E3 press conference, available on IGN.
Edit: Y'know what, I can see this argument going nowhere. Shall we just agree to disagree and call it a day?
