Ageia PhysX「物理处理芯片」即将发布

由 Atticus Wu 于 3 years 之前发表

既然影像都交给了显示卡，声音都交给了声卡，为什么玩射击游戏时 CPU 还是跑得那么辛苦？别忘了，当场上子弹纷飞、垃圾四溅的时候，还是要有人负责计算每一块垃圾要飞多远的！Ageia 的这块 PhysX 物理处理芯片做的就是这件事，将空间运算的工作从 CPU 那边扛过来，让 CPU 可以有空闲做些别的事情 (BT?) 。

和现代的显示卡比，PhysX 芯片的 128MB 内存、130nm 的制程和 PCI 接口看起来似乎很原始，但处理诸如 F.E.A.R、战栗时空2 (重力枪万岁！)、浴血战场等初代加入动态物理碰撞的游戏应该是绰绰有余了。

Aegia 会专注于生产芯片，并且把实际组装成「卡」的工作外包出去，就像 NVIDIA 一样。目前还没有一个确定的上市日期。
