Good news, but for now it's only for smartphones tech. It will take a while before they can use it for something as demanding as a GPU.
Still, tech keep moving forward, which is good for us.

Not just limited to smartphones, could be used to create any IC ... (PC hardware designers can already arrange a deal with Samsung to get their process development kits for 7nm)

Samsung and TSMC's 7 nm nodes are basically the same as Intel's 10 nm IIRC, with a small advantage in density but that has been for every of their equivalent process nodes for ages now, that assuming of course Samsung and TSMC haven't done any more compromises compared to what was originally planned for these nodes (which often does happen). The main difference being that Intel's designs are still more scalable and cheaper to produce nevertheless. |
Except TSMC's 7nm node is inferior to Intel's 10nm node ...
I think the only Samsung is able to reach smaller dimensions with their 7nm compared to Intel ... (good luck to them if their investment in EUV paid off)

Yes: this is what an advanced game looks like.
It isn't quite real-time ray tracing; VXGI does do the job quite well.
For now.

It has a pretty big downside to it though such as light leaking ...

Still better than the noise of low quality ray tracing (in most cases).
I find this demo to be quite pleasing, and it should demonstrate what the effect is to anyone who doesn't already know.
