Even better someone should just come up with a daughterboard platform with a standardized socket that would accept whatever auxillary processing unit (APU?).  It'd be nice to see 3 of these daughterboards each loaded with it's own task specific processor, but all sharing the same upgradable platform.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ken]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 6th 2006 1:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AIseek's Intia Processor provides dedicated AI crunching]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/aiseeks-intia-processor-provides-dedicated-ai-crunching/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/aiseeks-intia-processor-provides-dedicated-ai-crunching/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think this is a legitimate add-on card, the PhysX should be ON the video card. I could see this being in the processor, but not the video card, AI isnt a video thing. And since not everyone uses advanced AI processing, it wouldnt make sense to make it into the motherboards for an added cost. Maybe specific Gaming motherboards, but I already have a hard enough time finding a good MOBO with AMD and ATI alone, so the added criterion of trying to find one of those with an AI processor would suck. Maybe AMD assimilating ATI will change that, one can only hope. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[andidyus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 6th 2006 12:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AIseek's Intia Processor provides dedicated AI crunching]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/aiseeks-intia-processor-provides-dedicated-ai-crunching/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/aiseeks-intia-processor-provides-dedicated-ai-crunching/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've been expecting this.  Next will be a dedicated collision detection card.  Imagine the immersion possible if you throw a punch at an enemy and their clothing deforms around your fist and such, rather than simply sinking into them until it hits some invisible bounding box.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[otakucode]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 6th 2006 12:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AIseek's Intia Processor provides dedicated AI crunching]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/aiseeks-intia-processor-provides-dedicated-ai-crunching/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/aiseeks-intia-processor-provides-dedicated-ai-crunching/</guid><description><![CDATA[The real problem with this is that AI is crap in games because the programmers don't invest the time to code good AI. This won't magically make enemies smarter - unless the programmers write the AI in the first place, and make it take advantage of this card, this is just an extra heater. Also, with multi-core being increasingly common, a special "second CPU on a card" is pretty pointless.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 6th 2006 5:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AIseek's Intia Processor provides dedicated AI crunching]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/aiseeks-intia-processor-provides-dedicated-ai-crunching/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/aiseeks-intia-processor-provides-dedicated-ai-crunching/</guid><description><![CDATA[My comments on AI accelerators here:<br><br><a href="http://www.ai-blog.net/archives/000153.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ai-blog.net/archives/000153.html</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paul T]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 15th 2008 1:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AIseek's Intia Processor provides dedicated AI crunching]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/aiseeks-intia-processor-provides-dedicated-ai-crunching/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/aiseeks-intia-processor-provides-dedicated-ai-crunching/</guid><description><![CDATA[I suspect that this techno-division-of-labor is going to end up royaly screwing the end consumer (end-gamer?). <br><br>Ken, it might be nice to have these task-specific processors on an upgradable platform but that also means that once any of these task-specific processors becomes outdated, it won't be upgrading as usual.
