I was reading a article on TechpowerUp about launch of a new havok engine, and I was thinking
"why does this article take up so little space, when its much more intresting than most of these other articles".
I didnt think it was getting its fair share of attention. I check other sites from time to time, and checked those and theres nothing even on them about it.
Basically they found a way for Havok to perform about 2-3x as fast as it currently does, while useing 1/10th the memory.

In the Techpowerup comments section I found this:
"At the PS4 tech unveiling they showcased the age-old ball demo, which Havok declares on their site is not only used the most recent version of the SDK, but it was declared on-stage that it was running 'primarily on the GPU'."

In this video we hear them say the Havok demo is running on the GPU, doing a million particle real-time physics simulation.
*IF* Havok really has a 2-3 times speed up on CPU, and theyve got it able to run the GPU as well now, does this mean we ll finally see PhysX get pushed out of the picture?
