Found this news on TechPowerUp: http://www.techpowerup.com/173173/Silic ... g-GPU.html

I vaguely remember a discussion on old Ompf, may be it is the same chip.

I guess the difference between this and caustic graphics is that this is presumably tied to a fixed tracing/shading pipeline?

"considered impossible to implement in hardware" by whom exactly?

sigh

"can render cinema-quality 3D graphics effects on real-time basis"
