S3's DeltaChrome Graphics Chip

Posted by michael on from the recovering-from-savage-failure dept.

Noob Jones writes "The Tech Report has an article about a new video card in the works at S3. 'S3 Graphics is back with a new chip, dubbed DeltaChrome, which looks like it might just be strong enough to become a player in the mid-range consumer graphics market.' With a third player back in the graphics market both Nvidia and ATi are going to have things to worry about but this can only spell good news for customers."

    XGI also just announced a new set of graphics chips, they're really the people who were part of the Trident/SiS GPU people, but this looks like good news for the video card industry.
    while ATI and nVidia battle for the headline-making #1 graphics card, normal users will have a better selection of low price, yet high quality parts.

    read on on hardocp.com lastnight (thursday) at 7pm.

    I've complained about this before, and got the excuse "this just means there's a large readership overlap" ....

    and having thought about that, it just gives MORE reason not to post to both sites. That means more people read the same story in both places. Slashdot even has a Hardocp slashbox.

    In my eyes, Hardocp is for the gamer/hardware enthusiast/ over clocking/ water cooling/ etc stuff. slashdot is for the rest.
