What they mean is that it was rendered in a way in which it took 1 minute to render 1 minute of footage.

Instead of a typical movie rendering which can take a long time for just a single frame. Like toy story "Our original toy story frames were averaging four hours, which is 240 minutes" - https://www.quora.com/How-much-faster-would-it-be-to-render-...

No it wasn't, that commenter was _guessing_.

A tweet above says it was on a GTX 980 in 1440
