S3's DeltaChrome Examined

Posted by Hemos on from the output-with-the-gods dept.

sand writes "Firingsquad takes a look at DeltaChrome, which is a graphics chip from S3. The core runs at 300MHz and offers pixel and vertex shaders that go beyond DirectX 9, just like Nvidia GeForce FX. The really cool feature though is the integrated HDTV encoder, you can output from your PC or laptop directly to an HDTV or 1080p projector!"

    What do you mean, nothing exciting? Just look at that name DeltaChrome. Can you imagine the successors to this? In five years, we should be up to e.DeltaFLEX-ChromeNUMA FX 2008 Titanium .

    I can hardly wait!

  5. Output to an HDTV projector! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's great news.

    As long as there is a follow-up post about new HDTV projectors that run for about $200. Otherwise, it doesn't affect me too much... :(
