What is "frame" in this context? Video frame, or something else?

It looks like video frame, full framebuffer, generated and parsed at 60fps. It surprises me they haven't introduced GPU shaders, 16x oversampling and raytracing. Maybe for next release.

The contents of the terminal screen at any given point in time.
