Coming 2006, I bring you the new PPU (Physics Processing Unit) which will go hand in hand with your CPU and GPU. Expect most next generation games to incorporate this amazing chip, which will increase the "on screen interractable objects" from about 40 to 40,000. Epic, developer of the Unreal games, is working hand in hand with the developer of the PPU and will have full PPU support on their next game.
