Either way even if we got access to the RSX, code would need to be optimized so there wouldn't be a bottleneck at either the Cell or RSX.
I think the problem is not about processing power, but about display speed. If we have no access to RSX and we can only change the framebuffer data there isw no way to display seamless HD video at full speed.
