Hey guys, after going to art school in 3 years I can rival the power of todays fastest GPU's doing 500 billion fill rate cause im that amazing. Bs claim is BS

No, powerVR dominates the handheld market. heir chips are used in the iphone, a huge number of android devices, the openpandora and lots of other devices.
they certainly aren't dead.
not sure i believe this hype though.

As soon as one company starts throwing out ridiculous numbers like this then all of the companies HAVE to start throwing out ridiculous numbers like this or their product roadmap will look inferior. This definitely is not the first time I have seen such ridiculous statements. Maybe someone who has the time can trace back PR nonsense to the source and we can all issue blame.
It's the same thing with TV manufacturers. Fake specs and made-up technologies to compete with competitors fake specs and made up technologies.
Sad really.

considering it's a british company making these claims, mind you the brits haven't even mastered electrics yet(look at their automobile history for a prime example);i highly doubt these are anything more then a die shrink of old 2000 graphics chips or the like.
while i remain skeptical, it would not deny that the possibility doesn't exist if perhaps they discovered some other material with better conductivity & heat dissipation.

I love building pcs, i like the parts and all the better congratulating myself putting the pieces together in a nice looking case. Everyone would agree to that.
Sadly for most enthusiasts, inevitably while pcs will still have their place for many years to come. The tiny devise market is on the march, with ever growing market share, eventually amd-ati/intel/nvidia will gradually shift their business model to compete.
Evaluation will see the demise of bulky computers to something you can hold in your hand which can connect to any means of media be it; keyboard/mouse, huge projectors, plasma/lcds, cinema surround sound systems, all of it connected with some type of wireless/bluetooth.
I know what if the gpu isn’t powerful enough to run the latest game? Either you’re able to replace by slipping something more powerful in or like the incentive this article brings, there will be a totally different way of running games.
I’m not emphasising now, i mean 50yrs down the road, what if?
I like the idea of being flexible and all, and if it were to be just as good as a pc, the packaging better come with a titanium chain I can anchor it to my leg so no one steals it...

This article is would be more appropriate for an April Fool's joke. “20-100 times the power, yet consumes barely a milliwatt"? What a joke. At best, it will consume 1mW when mostly idle and thus power and clock gated for most of the time, not when at 20-100 times the current performance.
The PC enthusiast world seems fairly clueless about what is going on in the embedded world judging by the comments post here and elsewhere and judging by the one-time fairly reputable Tom's posting garbage like this.
Mobile chips are about performance per milliwatt and cost to manufacture (die space, etc.) and not mostly performance oriented like for Desktop PCs and even laptops. Here's the breakdown of how the embedded GPU industry looks:
ATI: Sold their mobile graphics division to Qualcomm a couple of years ago. Since then, afaik, Qualcomm is keeping the technology in house for themselves and not licensing out. Only a few companies sell a part with previous generations of this technology that licensed it before the Qualcomm deal was finalized. AMD CEO should have got b-slapped for this or not starting another mobile graphics group as much as anything.
Nvidia: Does not license out their mobile GPU afaik. They keep it all to themselves for their own ARM SoCs. Dumb move in my opinion as their largest expertise is in graphics and they could make alot more money if they licensed it out. But, I'd guess it is behind Imagination/PowerVR in performance per millwatt so perhaps that is why they don't license it as it may not be very competitive.
Intel: licenses from Imagination/PowerVR for the lower end Atoms.
ARM: Licenses a GPU which is behind in Imagination/PowerVR is behind on features (latest OpenCL, etc.).
Imagination Technologies PowerVR: The dominant player in the embedded GPU market, at least of those that license it out unlike Qualcomm and Nvidia. Apple, Samsung, Sony, HTC and most other phones and tablets that don't use a Qualcomm or Nvidia chip use Imagination Technologies. That said, Nvidia and Qualcomm parts now make up a significant chunk of the market.
Others: There are a few other players competing in the embedded high end but for now they are dwarfed by ARM Mali, PowerVR, and the non-licensed out technologies of Qualcomm and Nvidia.

If it is true about this new technology codenamed Rogue,then a lot of people will eventually have eye troubles...As I am a desk top pc user,I can not see myself moving to these small screens full time...When it comes out & it is a proven technology,then I may try it,but like I said I mainly use desk top pc's...

Although children & teenagers will be enjoying the products that will use this future technology codenamed Rogue,it is still to be seen that it is a proven technology...

If only a few men just had to sign their names in blood in a contract with the devil to give us cold fusion and 1 milliwatt chips equal to a GTX 580, then I say sign away!
