3DWorkshop heeft in dit nieuwsbericht een heel klein beetje informatie over de opvolger van de Neon 250 / PowerVR series 2, de teleurstellende video chipset van Videologic / Imagination Technologies. Vooral in 32 bit en de hogere resoluties kon deze kaart niet op tegen de concurrentie.
Het is niet veel info, maar hier is het:
A while ago Imagination Technologies announced a partnership with STMicroelectronics (those who did the Riva128 chip) which stated that STMicro. would be making the upcoming PowerVR3 chips as well.
We know prototype boards are available but mass-production isn't expected until later this year. However more information have surfaced.
The name of the chip will be Kyro.
It will be a very low-cost solution.
The technology requires very little bandwidth.
It has, up until now, been very de-hyped.
Expect very good performance.
Het enige dat er dus écht in staat is dat de naam Kyro zal zijn. Altijd leuk om te weten.
