I guess you have your mind set on that this is a PC revolution. Where I just think its a console revolution. The Hydra 100 chip aint even PCIe 2.0.
Understood, but to be 99% efficient with certain aspect of the rendering process, the chip will probably need updates. But even without them, the Hydra Chip's design is inherently better than the SLI solution.
A "profile" may increase a certain games performance say another 7%, or remove an anomaly, but understand, we are talking about a processor solely dedicated to nothing but guiding information on a PCIe bus. A new motherboard design is required to make use of this technology!
Secondly, I understand it's limits, but that doesn't mean other products or revisions are not in testing or development. Lucid is probably releasing this chip for a revenue stream before setting their sights on the PCIe 3.0 standard.
As with anything in the hardware world, update or die..!
