The Return of S3

Posted by michael on from the not-dead-yet dept.

flynn_nrg writes "Just saw this article on ExtremeTech about S3's new graphics card. S3 is back on the scene with its first new GPU architecture in five years. Rather than take aim at the high-end, S3 has set its sights on the midrange price/performance category, which is currently dominated by ATI's Radeon 9600 XT and nVidia's GeForce FX 5700, both of which are under $200. Today S3 unveils the DeltaChrome S8 GPU, which represents the midrange of its upcoming line of DeltaChrome GPUs."

    From the article: "One feature not on this list is compression of texture, color and Z data." I thought S3 invented S3 texture compression.

    OMW why didn't I think of that? :-P America would never do that because at its core it is (classical) liberal.
