Read this article about the latest developments in GPUs for mobile devices

I was quite impressed by the comment made by Ian Smythe, ARM's marketing director:

"Reproducing a CGI movie - which is generated on a server farm where it takes a day to render a frame with 50,000 processors - being able to reproduce that in a mobile experience is clearly a challenge."

What has the rendering process got to do with playback of a HD video file?

That's kind of what I am thinking. I can only think it's to do with high quality graphics in game. Though if a GPU can do the job of 50,000 processors in a rendering farm, then what the [LIFTED] is Peter Jackson clinging on to WETA for? He could do the next Tintin film on a phone.
