If that's what this means, then shut up and take my money,

The ASIC was intended for mobile devices (~2 Watts), but the development board that PowerVR provided us was in fact running on a PCIe card
IIRC, this HW can be scaled up to ~60x on a single board. So a desktop class RT chip could be running at 6 billion rays/second in < ~120 Watts. This would still leave plenty of room for normal GPU cores, which we would still use to handle the other parts of the rendering framework.
