Trident Back From the Dead

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-just-plain-wierd dept.

FunkyMonkey writes "It seems that Trident is trying to pull a Matrox and resurrect themselves from the 3D video card grave yard. AnandTech posted a Trident XP4 Preview today that has some interesting information on Trident's latest stab at the graphics market. The company is claiming 80% the performance of the GeForce 4 TI 4600 at a price tag of less than $100 USD including DX 9 support. How? A 0.13 micron process and only 30 million transistors thanks to pipeline resource sharing. "

    "The last time I saw trident was on a Packed Bell computer, if thats any indication of quality. "

    Remember dudes, everything is constant. Nothing ever changes, even if many years have gone by.

    "Offtopic yes, but isn't it odd, what with the 'normal' banners that appeal to most of us that are on ./ that I just saw one for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET [microsoft.com]? Kinda odd with all the MSFT and .NET bashing here... "

    Yeah but whoever is serving the banners can get good data on what IPs have the most reloads on anti-microsoft stories.

    And I'm sure MSFT could do something with that information. Maybe they could find out which company has the most anti-MSFT slashdot readers and send the executives of that company on a nice MSFT-sponsored vacation and then start hawking Visual Studio .NET to them.
