Chips aren't getting better as fast as they were 22 years ago. Raytracing has been "just around the corner" for at least a decade. Remember Quake Wars? https:/

  Eh, so was VR. Sooner or later, "just around the corner" actually arrives. I actually think the speed plateau is going to make life very interesting. If we want to keep seeing improvements, we need to become smarter. It's getting more and more worthwhile making dedicated silicon to accomplish tasks, rather than just waiting a few years. We're probably near the peak of what we can do with traditional graphics - we've used every trick in the book and we're running out of transistors to throw at the problem. We need new approaches.
