AGEIA Physics Processing Unit Q&A

AGEIA Physics Processing Unit Q&A

Rewired Mike 15 Apr, 2005 at 10:59am ET Article published in Tech

TeamXbox has conducted an interview with AGEIA Technologies about its Physics Processing Unit (PPU) which may or may not be in the Xbox 360.

View: AGEIA Technologies Interview

Manju Hegde: A Physics Processing Unit (PPU) is a completely new hardware category that bridges the gap between static virtual worlds and pervasive physical reality. This new hardware category represents the next milestone in the evolution of game acceleration, following in the footsteps of the CPU and GPU. The PPU works alongside these processors, completing the triangle of gameplay, 3D imagery and physics-based interaction.

    ...When can we expect to see the first games that make use of the PhysX PPU and when can we expect the first boards at retail stores?

    Expect to see PPU enabled systems and boards in time for the 2005 Christmas buying season.
    Yay! Another excuse for not upgrading my PC! :aol:
