Na de boodschap een paar dagen geleden dat de Voodoo5 6000, een 4-way multiprocessing grafische kaart gecanceld zou zijn, heeft nu een woordvoerder van 3dfx op de comdex beurs in Las Vegas gezegd dat er toch een Voodoo5 6000 zal komen:
Rumors about 3dfx's future have been sprouting up around the Web like wild fungus, and spokesperson Bubba Wolford would like to set the record straight.
At the Comdex trade show in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Wolford told Gamecenter that the Voodoo5 6000 has not been cancelled; that 3dfx will not start selling current chipset technology to third parties such as Creative Labs and ELSA; that Voodoo products, including current graphics and TV cards, will continue to be manufactured; and that the company isn't going belly-up any time soon. [break]Toch lijkt het persbericht van 3dfx vrij definitief:[/break] The company also announced that its 4-way SLI technology, which has achieved 43 percent better Quake 3 graphics performance over leading competitive solutions, will be available exclusively from Quantum3D, and will not be available in the retail channel.
Over wat nu de waarheid is tasten wij volledig in het duister.
