That link has been popping up all over the place. I've actually seen the GP-1 in action head to head against a GF. It was beating the GF in frame rate in Quake3. However, that was with FSAA enabled. Without FSAA, the GF does much better as there is almsot no difference between the GP-1's scores with and without FSAA enabled.
It is still good news as the GP-1 was a prototype chip running at 100 mhz, but 3dfx has given no indication that a Gigapixel-based chip will be ready in the short run.
