Voodoo Extreme heeft wat info gepost uit een interview met Mika Tuomi, een ventje van BitBoys' Oy. Bitboys heeft een super vette videokaart in ontwikkeling, de Glaze3D. Het ding bestaat vooralsnog alleen op papier maar het is de bedoeling dat rond het eind van de zomer een werkend silicon beschikbaar is:
Banks-Question1: I would like to know why your Pyramid 3d never came to market?Mika Tuomi-Answer1: Pyramid3D project involved three parties. Bitboys doing
high level architecture and algorithm design, VLSI Solution (Finnish company) doing silicon design, and TriTech Microelectronics doing the FAB and marketing. The reason P3D never got to market is that the silicon implementation had so many problems with speed. And fixing those took so long time that the market windows was missed, then TriTech decided to pull the plug for it's own 3D program.
Banks-Q2: Why does the picture on your page say only 12.2 hz on the simulation for the card (not sure if it was Glaze3d, or other I forgot to ask)?
Mika Tuomi-A2: It is the speed of screen refresh rate the simulator can update. The simulator is "emulating" monitor in realtime.
Banks-Q3: Will your Glaze3d run as sli on a single board?
Mika Tuomi-A3:Yes
Banks-Q4: Will Glaze3d be agp only (sli in agp)?
Mika Tuomi-A4: We will have to see whether it makes sense to make PCI boards. That would enable the two board SLI configuration. We will have a big announcement soon about new partners and higher performance numbers! Keep checking our web.
