With respect to the top comment, the only reason 3d graphics are possible (even at 850W of power consumption) is due to taking a bunch of shortcuts and approximations like culling of polygons. If its a reasonable shortcut it either has or will be taken.
I think you’re thinking of the famous fast inverse square root algorithm from Quake.
