can someone who knows about computers tell me if I should be amazed by this real time rendering?

Yes and no.
Yes because that sort of render used to take quite a lot of time fairly recently. You would be doing well to do a frame in less than a few minutes only a decade ago.
No because computers and graphics cards are now so fast that it is hard not to do stuff in real time if you buy something expensive and use it :)

yes,
because 15 years ago (edit - sorry, 20, 1994) it would take an hour to calculate this 3d image:
whereas that video is calculating 25 frames a second at that high resolution and complexity of light bouncing/realism

Not that one.
That's just one quad with texture and bump map, a point source, ambient sphere and metallic cylinder. 15 seconds tops.

if you bumped up the yadda pixels and incorporated fluff core peogramming, then you could recompexulate the picture in less than 3 seconds.

I understand where you're going with this but can't make out what you're saying as your head is firmly up your arse.

sorry, I forgot it's 2014, it's 20 years since I made an image like that that took over an hour to render
I think it was an hour and 20 minutes to be precise, in 3d Studio v3
