At second glance, this announcement seems like an 'also ran' product. This chip is a Open GL ES 1.0 part. ATI just announced their OGLES 1.1 part. For us in the game industry that makes a huge difference, because 1.1 allows for bump mapping and real lighting. The 'Rooms Demo' screen shots are show some of these effects.

Of course, as usual Nvidia PR prowess is awesome, and has totally mindfucked everyone into believing this is something new.
