Since then, cache (or memory latency in general) has become the dominating factor in high performance systems. The Cell processor takes what you might call an "architectural left turn" as a result of the size of off-chip memory latencies, by putting fast SRAM in the SPU processors and treating off-chip memory access as essentially an I/O operation akin to getting data from a disk drive. SPU processors have no cache and no direct external memory bus. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>
