Just wondering if anyone has some insightfull speculations about Dual Core vs Dual-Core + PhysX vs Single core + PhysX.
One of the thing that could benefit from moving to another processor than the "main" core are the physics calculations. From what has been posted about the PhysX this would blow any normal CPU by up to 100 fold, or even in a more conservative view 10 times. No matter what the software would need to be optimized either for a 2nd CPU or the PhysX. What I'm speculating about is wether a an engine like U2K7 would benefit most from PhysX or another CPU. Also wether the engine would benefit from both. That ofcourse depend on how well multithreaded the engine is, but I would like to hear comments and speculations from others.
