IMG has had raytracing in powervr for like a decade, and they just did another "most advanced ever!!!" thing a few years ago ( https://www.imaginationtech.com/news/imagination-launches-the-most-advanced-ray-tracing-gpu/ https://www.imaginationtech.com/news/imagination-launches-th... )
But it's mobile and so it's way too slow to be useful, so nobody cares. That's 99% likely to be the case with Apple's newest offering, just like it is with Qualcomm's and ARM's (that's right, literally every mobile GPU offers this now - Apple is one of the masses here)
Look at how hard it hits consoles and PCs, it's utterly pointless on a 6" display with a 5w SoC
