Bij Silicon Investor hebben ze wat interessante info gepost over de 3dfx Napalm, die waarschijnlijk "Voodoo X" gaat heten. Verder wordt er gezegd dat hij zwaar veel geld zal kosten. Hieronder de info, vertaald uit het Frans.
Three days before the official announcement of Napalm's specs by 3dfx, we can already tell you that it will be called "Voodoo X". Our informant, at risk to his life, delivered this precious information to us yesterday night. Today, he's in the hospital where doctors are trying desperately to heal his 8th degree burns from Napalm. From the burnt documents in his possession, we were able to make out the name 'Voodoo X", as well as the terms "multi-chips" and "segmented memory". Therefore, we speculate the following: the announced 1 Gpixel fillrate is attained by using many chips (SLI) on the card. If the card has 64 megs of memory, then each chip will use 32 megs. The consequence? A price that threatens to exceed most of our small company stocks (note - a reference to the price being extremely high, not the stock performance of 3dfx)
Dit is dus nog geen bevestigde info, maar volgens Billy van Voodoo Extreme is het correct. En trouwens, morgen komt 3dfx met de officiële specs naar voren, dus dan zullen we het echt weten
