Hm. 4 threads, is it? You'd think they were aiming to gobble up the Intel quads and AMD 2X2 chips out soon. Sure looks like core code rewrite to me! It is sounding more and more to me as if there was some serious technology talk between eFrontier and e-on. V6I is supposed to have the separate render process scheme mentioned here, so you can continue to work on a scene while a render is occurring (as was occlusion culling and in Vue's case, texture spooling...which sounds a lot like what P7 is supposed to have). Or else this is the biggest case of serendipity to come down the pipeline in quite awhile.....
