Could this mean that no more physics dedicated processors?

I have always known that GPU's are good at calculating things but not that they would be this good :O To be sure two orders magnitude means this X^2?
Like graphics, physics processing is made up of millions of parallel computations. The NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800GT GPU, with its 112 processors, can process parallel applications up to two orders of magnitude faster than a dual or quad-core CPU.

ATI's X1900 was ~9x as fast as the fastest Intel chip at the time in certain physics tasks, so it would not be surprising. DX11 will be adding compute threads for the purpose of further generalizing the resource.

Still crazy fast. I actually skipped the whole X-series and all that stuff. I bought 9800pro and was perfectly happy with it :D then had to replace it with 6600GT. I had some consoles too and now that I bought new PC I read quite much about different technologies and I am interested to see what happens with this merge. Never really liked the idea of different card doing physic calculations. There is already enough stuff to buy when getting a new gaming PC.

Hmm seems like that physx stuff is already working.

I tried it and got about 8-10x better performance on physics test on 3Dmark Vantage. I haven't haven tried those ageia UT3 maps yet.
