the title made me think of the SpongeBob episode where they were racing boxes using their imaginations. "You need to use your imaginaaaaaaaatiooooooonnn." haha

It's so ironic that company like Imagination tech which looks so tiny in front of nVidia produces stuff which is in multiple times faster than nVidia flag ship chipsets every time.

I went to visit my friend in that company, I was really impressed. They are bunch of cool dudes.

[citation][nom]Zingam[/nom]"There are currently about 600 million PowerVR-based GPUs deployed worldwide."Wow! NVIDIA sucks! BTW. It is unbelievable how crappy Tegra 3 GPU performance is! It is obvious that NVIDIA doesn't know how to make an efficient processor. All they know is put more transtors... and that's it![/citation]

It is easy, remember this :
For ultra-mobile :
CPU = ARM
GPU = ARM or PowerVR

For desktops :
CPU = Intel
GPU = nVidia or AMD

Noob question: is this a 100% software thing that can be applied to existing hardware, or does this include hardware changes that mean it will only be for their GPUs from this point on, or...?

Undoubtedly, hardware is being overhauled, not the software or at least not only the software. It will only be their newer GPUs.
