Savage2k bericht dat op de Platform Conference 2001 wat nieuwe informatie is vrijgegeven over de nieuwe mobiele Ultrasavage core. Deze videochip werd eerder al genoemd onder de codenaam "Zoetrope" en moet gaan concurreren met de GeForce2 Go van nVidia. De verwachte specificaties zijn ondertussen iets completer geworden, en men verwacht de eerste demonstratie tijdens de Fall Comdex 2001 beurs in november:
I've just received a bit of very interesting news coming out of the Platform Conference 2001. It seems that S3/VIA is readying another mobile core called UltraSavage. Here is what the rumored specs are:
If you remember a while back when I did the "S3 Roadmap 2001" preview, there was a mobile core called "Zoetrope". UltraSavage is apparently the first appearance of this core. It would appear that this could be a heavy competitor with GeForce2Go, and for such a powerful mobile chip, it uses surprisingly little power, due to the .15 micron process. Word on the street is that this and perhaps Columbia/Chameleon will be shown at Fall Comdex 2001 in November.
- 164 Mhz core
- AGP 4X
- Dual-pipeline multitexturing
- Full T&L engine
- DX7 compatible
- 18.5 Million tri/sec
