Intel is running a software renderer that has a slightly different modus operandi. If you were to run a normal DirectX game using software emulation, it would require similar insane CPU reqs. If the current mainstream video card manufacturers wanted to design raytracing assisted hardware, they would. The marketing is just not there. There's far too much invested in the rasterization method to just drop everything. Intel might as well be pimping voxel technology. This seems more like Intel's attempt at stirring of the pot (so to speak) for its upcoming Larabee tech. This isn’t that big a deal.
