3dfx VSA-100 Interview 9:00
AM EST - Email Us |
|
Thresh's
Firing Squad has posted an interview
with 3dfx's Scott Sellers and Brian Burke regarding the VSA-100 and the
cards that will be based on it. Here is a bit from the interview:
FS: Is the VSA-100 Engine, the
chip that powers the Voodoo4 and Voodoo5, still based on the original
Voodoo Graphics core, or is it an all new design?
Scott Sellers: It's somewhere in
between. The VSA-100 is still based on the Voodoo Graphics core, for
compatibility reasons, but we've made significant changes to the
overall design. We had to build in support for 32-bit color, 2 pixels
per clock rendering, new texture modes, new combine modes, tremendous
scalability improvements, support for texture compression, larger
texture sizes and a number of other new features. At heart, it's the
Voodoo core, with lots of substantial changes. As a result, we
consider it to be really close to a new architecture.

3DSoundSurge

of Yamaha's XG-Movie 5.1 sound card. The only reason they didn't call

This card is very exciting, check it out:
In this preview take a hands on first
look at Yamaha’s upcoming XG-Movie 5.1 sound card. To the best of
our knowledge this is the first sound card to offer Dolby Digital (DD)
and Digital Theater Systems (DTS) decoding in hardware. It does this
and more using the YAMAHA YSS912 chip and outputs six analog channels
or a COAX SPDIF out! The other half of this intriguing card uses the
YMF744-XG chip which will be used in Yamaha’s upcoming XG-Quad sound
card as well as several cards that are already on the market including
Hoontech’s Digital XG board and Guillemot’s Fortissemo, both of
which we will review this year. All of these boards, including the XG-Movie
5.1 use Sensaura’s 3D audio technology for all the gaming aspects of
the card.

No, this is not an S3 Savage graphics board,

the SharedWare Savage card and given it quite a lot of praise.
Here is what it does:
This board allows you to split the
resources of your computer, and have two or more consoles connected to
it at the same time. Meaning independent workspaces for each Savage
card you use. The picture below illustrates how this is done. As you
can see, the main console uses your main video, sound, keyboard, and
mouse hookups, while the other consoles go through the Savage.

The realism it adds to the PC racing genre is phenomenal. Although
there is a lack of games supporting the shifter right now, the list of

AMD Likely To Beat Intel, Alpha To 1GHz 4:56
PM EST - Email Us |
|
That is the headline in an article
over at the Register and it's
not very hard to believe. Here is a bit from the article:
It now seems highly unlikely that Intel
will be able to produce a 1GHz chip based on its IA-32 architecture
before AMD, and possibly even before Compaq rolls out a 1GHz Alpha
processor next summer.
According to information from a source close to AMD's plans, it can,
as we have said before, produce an air-cooled Athlon K7 running at the
magic 1GHz spot early next year, if it wants to.
The fabrication of the processor has gone more smoothly than anyone
could have anticipated, and the only reason for holding back on
producing a 1GHz Athlon early next year is that AMD can maximise its
profits by gradually rolling scaled processors out of its fabs.
