Fudzilla posted a pic and a few details here.
Anyway they seem aimed at video encoding and decoding, not at 3D apps games, but to me not providing support for other kind of applications would be a waste of the card's power, i mean it's a multicore RISC CPU in the end, it should be able to accelerate a lot of stuff.

I wonder how this type of processor might deal with raytracing?

And will it be possible to use multiple cards? Or will multi chip cards be released? They should have a price point near the Quadro cards.
