3DLabs Launching New GPU

h0tblack writes "...or VPU as they've seen fit to call it. The Register is reporting that 3DLabs will be releasing the P10 later this year. It's targeted at workstation and gaming markets with OpenGl2.0 and DX9 drivers having been seeded to developers already. Could be interesting as 3DLabs have been one of the key players in the development of OpenGL2.0. The P10 has over 200 SIMD processors throughout its geometry, texture and pixel processing pipeline stages to deliver over 170Gflops and one TeraOp of programmable graphics performance together with a full 256-bit DDR memory interface for up to 20GBytes/sec of memory bandwidth. More info can be found in the press release." There are also examinations of the new chip on Anandtech, Tom's Hardware, and no doubt many other hardware sites too.

Silly thought

[Alien54]

I am reminded of that commercial for some silly product, where the model is constantly demanding "More! I want more!"

Not that I can remeber the product, 'cause I don't.

Or the cliche movie scenes with villians shouting "give me More Power!" [insert evil laugh here]

End of VGA

[skroz]

The article on Tom's mentions the end of VGA as the common denomenator for video, but mentions no replacement. So what's the new standard? When it comes to a standard video format, we really need to have SOMETHING common to all (most) platforms...
