New Graphics Chip Relies on Reduced Gate Count

Posted by timothy on from the bigger-fences dept.

absolut.evil writes "HardOCP has an interesting story about a small integrated graphics chip maker from Norway: Falanx. The hardware is scalable and has a much lower power consumption thanks to its reduced gate count. So in theory we could see geforce/radeon style graphics in a set-top box -- maybe even a cell phone. They say they'll have hardware by mid-2006."

    OK, sounds nice. But how much you want to bet that the phones will still cost the same? At least considering how much providers rip us of as is.

    Besides, most of those extra chips that this new one gets rid of are stupid crap like cameras etc.
