AAX DSP versions of new 64-bit VI:s in Pro Tools 11?

EDIT:
And do you know how much of that CPU load is because the plug needs to stream something in and out of memory? That (memory) is really the biggest obstacle regarding VI's

Which aax plugs span multiple chips?

Also how many vi developers even care? When 98% of the market is native why would they bother to spend three years coding a dsp version which overcomes all the technical inabiilities of the hardware platform.

That's a great example in theory of what I think we might be after. Better latency and buffer settings by using some DSP. I use that Altiverb instance all the time...

I am just curious if it is possible to gain any advantages at all from a DSP/native hybrid VI. The answer could well be a resounding no. Would be great to know though...

I do not know. I just said that AAX plugs *CAN* span multiple chips.

FWIW It seems Altiverb is possibly going to be aax DSP ( albeit it appears non trivial to do )
and some comment on this here if anyone is interested:
