Bjorn3D heeft de engelste vertaling van een posting van Mika Tuomi (Bitboys CEO) op een Fins message board. Zo te lezen staan ze op het punt om de eerste samples van de Glaze3D te laten bakken door Infineon (= Siemens Semiconductors):
Here's some more info on the current position of the Glaze3D. The Glaze3D chip is in the final stage of silicondevelopment, and the data will be sent to Infineon to be processed when it is finished. We will receive the first prototypes in the beginning of next year. At the moment we have a 100% accurate simulation-model of the chip which we can use to run with an accuracy of a nanosecond. From these we have been able to measure that it takes about 3-5 nanoseconds to draw a frame in Quake3, which means 200-300 fps for the graphics card. As a person who plays Quake in the clan Zetor, I know to appreciate the meaning of games. That's why we during the development process have made sure that real-world programs (games) run as well as possible on the Glaze3D.Regards,
CEO of Bitboys Oy
Mika Tuomi
