Over bij Full On 3D hebben ze een interview gepost met Nick Caddick van S3. Ze ouwehoeren een beetje over S3 als bedrijf, maar gelukkig ook wat info over de S3 Savage 2000. Hieronder vast een gedeelte:
Fullon3d: How does your hardware T&L compare to that of GeForce?Nick: Well OK, it’s our first generation chip, but like GeForce we can have up to eight hardware generated lights. One thing that GeForce doesn’t have however is real-time load balancing, which means that the 2000 can accelerate as much or as little of the geometry as is required. So it should scale well to almost any system.
Fullon3d: What about the future?
Nick: In the first half of next year we’ll have a Savage2000 plus™ a turbo-charged Savage2000 and we’ll continue to drive prices down. You can be assured that our 2000-range will be significantly cheaper than anything from 3dfx or NVIDIA. Then we have our Project-X that I can’t tell you anything about!
