Matrox Parhelia 512 Preview

SpinnerBait writes "Finally, you don't have to sift through all the unreleased and unauthorized bogus information around the net about Matrox's upcoming 3D Graphics chip, called the Parhelia 512. Matrox has taken the wraps off their next generation GPU and this Preview over at HotHardware goes through its feature set with a fine toothed comb. They also give you a very rare glimpse inside Matrox's Montreal Headquarters, as well as a look at some very impressive technology demos, rendered on their new chip. Looks like impressive stuff for sure."

For example, most people can distinguish between two very similar 24-bit medium greens but not between three or four similar 24-bit dark blues.

If i remember back to biology this is because there are lots of green (Natural) foods but not so many blue ones and we therefore have allocated more cones in our eyes to distinguishing greens than blues.
This is why blue m-m's are an affront to nature :)

TripleHead QuadHead QuintHead ...

Hopefully Matrox will discontinue the DualHead, TripleHead, etc., naming conventions before they get to the sixth generation (for the same reason that Intel didn't release a Sextium).
