titaniumx3 said "Sorry but I find your claims absurd, show us some evidence of this 75mhz powervr gpu outperforming Nvidia's top end GPU."
This http://www.youtube.com/user/CausticGraphics#p/u/4/LSwjXDCknpo is an old developer card running at 75Mhz from 2009 and its over x10 faster than Nvidia top end desktop GPU's which do about 0.6fps on a single GPU. That's a developer far from finale performance and the newer generations are meant to be much faster. The 2nd gen is ment to be x14 faster.
drunkenmaster said "The problem is, how would that 75Mhz chip do at gaming, answer, almost certainly utterly rubbish."
Your really don't get it do you? The technology is to be mixed with PowerVR tile based chips. The point is if a slow 75Mhz developer card can performed that well imagine what it's going to do on a full blown none developer PowerVR chip running at full speed. The answer is its going be way faster.
A PowerVR 75Mhz chip is about the same as a 700Mhz Nvidia chip. All they need to do is bump the speed up to say 150 to 200mhz add in the ray tracing parts and you have a pretty impressive chip.
drunkenmaster said " Likewise WHAT did it raytrace, was it not a highly accelerated for one specific purpose chip. Have a look at quicksync on Sandybridge, when you have hardware acceleration its magnitudes faster than general purpose hardware programmed in software to do the same job."
Anything and everything. The whole point of the Caustic technology is its a full real-time, fully interactive renderer for a wide range of 3D graphics applications. It's not highly accelerated for one specific purpose which is what's so impressive about Caustic technology ,it's made for 3D artists to designers and end users.
Its takes no shortcuts and does full raytraceing.
drunkenmaster said " What happens if a game has a new feature this fantastic, unavailable, not produced chip doesn't support, does fps go from 60fps to 0.00001fps?"
What a strange thing to say. What normally happens when a new feature comes out and your current chip does not support? As you know 0.00001fps would be an odd case. DX11 games don't drop my DX10 card from 60fps down to 0.00001fps.
What's more likely to happen is Nvidia will not have this nice feature so the games and software and go from 60fps with a PowerVR GPU to 0.1fps with a Nvidia GPU. Anyway for many of the platforms PowerVR are 100% market pretention so all the apps and software are made for PowerVR. The only time a new feature is going to be added is when a new generation of PowerVR hardware comes out. PowerVR are the market leaders in the space this will be used in.
drunkenmaster said "Your claim is so random, unquantified, and unknown."
My claims are 100% provable you just like to ignore anything that doesn't agree with you as this thread shows when you said the Ipad has low textures and low res even though you have been proven wrong many times on that.
drunkenmaster said " Why do people insist on ignoring logic. A basic tablet/smartphone ARM chip has advantages over desktop chips in power because they are designed to be that low power as the PRIMARY goal."
I am not ignoring logic, you are. The architecture of PowerVR is vastly different from ATI or Nvidia. PowerVR need vastly less power requirement to match ATI or NV .
PowerVR chips are magnitudes slower in raw speed then ATI and NV yet match them in 3D speed. Like its been pointed out a 100mhz PowerVR matches a 1000Mhz NV chip.
Sure desktops have access to more power but PowerVR don't need as much power and PowerVR are magnitudes faster at ray tracing.
drunkenmaster said "A smartphone/tablet chip is magnitudes slower than a desktop chip, and the same goes gpu's."
But if the technology keeps changing as it is, mobiles chip will be magnitudes faster in areas like ray tracing. This could mean far better looking games. Please note I said could, I did not say will.
drunkenmaster said " Its pretty simple, if this 75Mhz chip was THAT good, it would be out, making a killing and putting the other guys out of business."
It is out since 2009 and is the market leader in the hardware ray tracing world isn't it? Lots of software packages and people use it. Lots of companies use it.
drunkenmaster said "What you're talking about is a highly highly specialised, single function chip that can do one thing very well and can't in any way be released into an industry for gaming that doesn't give a monkeys about raytracing yet.c"
So what happens when 100% of Ipads 3/4 and/or 100% Iphones 6/7 have this chip? Do you really think no one will give monkeys about it? Do you really think no apps or games will come out that use it? All it will take is one nice looking app and lots of developers will get interested in ray tracing. Lots will be interested as 100% of that gen will be able to use it.
Considering how big the gaming market is for mobiles how can you say this isn't a chip for gaming? You might not like mobile gaming but it doesn't change the fact it's massive and predicted to overtake desktop gaming.
drunkenmaster said " A powervr card that is the slowest card in the past decade for any available game but can run some soon to be released game paid for by PowerVr really really well isn't interesting in the least."
You really have no concept of the markets do you? Or any real understand of technology. How am I meant to respond to something as wrong as what you just said? I have done a lot of research to this to the point where I am feel as safe as one can investing money in it. I guess one off two things are going happen, I am right and make a ton of money or you are right and I lose money. Time will tell.

Imho, a hybrid engine that combines rasterisation & ray tracing will no doubt be the best of both worlds, but certainly not a ray tracing only engine."
I am pretty sure that the PowerVR/Caustic technology is a choice of Ray only or Hybrid with rasterisation. I need to re watch he videos.
For those interested thesse are old exmples of Castic technology.
