For those on a budget who just want to watch ordinary video, then can't that just be done on integrated grapics, more cheaply?]]>Apr 8th 2008 8:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/Apr 8th 2008 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/
Toshiba are partnering with Corel, CyberLink and Leadtek for this initially so I'd say they have a more than fighting chance.]]>Apr 8th 2008 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/
This device is capable of upconversion of SD video to higher than 720p.

Around 960p actually]]>Apr 8th 2008 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/

I'm getting pretty tired of all the commenters on this site and others, along with some publications going on about how the Cell has 8 cores or whatever...

Its rather annoying to see people spread misinformation.]]>Apr 8th 2008 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-core
so the ps3 has 7 spe + 1 ppe = 8 cores. and we can say the same about this chip, it has 4 cores, but we don't know the configuration of spe's + ppe's.]]>Apr 8th 2008 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/Apr 9th 2008 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/

No Blu-Ray needed to enjoy high-definition, a Super Upconversion DVD player is all you need.]]>Apr 8th 2008 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/
I see what you are saying. I looked at some pics and saw that the device is capable of sharpening images. Makes me wonder.

Will they put it in TV's or DVD players?

Will competing brands develop their own so as not to be outdone by Toshiba?

Will SONY !!! ??? considering that this might derail blu-ray take over for a while if it picks up speed and is affordable?

With that being said I hope its affordable, I wouldn't mind paying an extra 50 dollars to watch all my DVDs on high definition. (granted not 1080p but it still sweet)

What do you guys think?]]>Apr 8th 2008 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/toshiba-releases-spursengine-graphics-co-processor-for-testing/
It's for upconversion too people.
