Although both devices share many features, in general AIBOs are more mechanically complex and they have a more powerful and versatile CPU.
And even if all ray-tracing algorithms do, it is still wasteful to let a large, powerful multi-core CPU sit there idle.
Games and demo communities also flourished, as its anemic graphics were offset by a powerful CPU.
Neither Motorola nor Hitachi produce 6809 processors or derivatives any more, despite the 6809 being one of the most powerful general-purpose 8-bit CPUs ever produced.
Until this generation of games, a powerful CPU was able to somewhat compensate for an older video card.
System p with POWER5 processors are used as the base for many supercomputers as they are made to scale well and have powerful CPUs.
Until the advent of id Tech 4, a powerful CPU was able to somewhat compensate for an older video card.
Required a somewhat more powerful CPU than the YMF chips did.
Hypothetically could also be used with a YMF chipset system to combine their capabilities on sufficiently powerful CPUs.
Fast, powerful CPUs need quick and easy access to large amounts of data in order to maximize their performance.
