yeah i see what your saying
and the cell processing was good on paper but is there any application that can utilize its potential?
in my mind you would need to write a whole new script to utilize the hardware
and if im not mistaken cpu rendering largely relies on the ram

P.S this is more of a question than a statement dont take it as fact!
