S3 heeft nu officeel de nieuwe Savage4 videochip aangekondigd. Hier wat stuff uit de press release:
Spanning all volume mainstream PC price segments, Savage4 comes in two configurations: the Savage4 PRO and the Savage4 GT. Targeted for mid-range volume PC markets, the Savage4 PRO offers industry-first AGP 4X technology, 143MHz memory support and up to a 32MB local frame buffer, while the Savage4 GT offers AGP 2X technology, 125MHz memory support and up to a 16MB local frame buffer for low-end PC markets.Based on its feature set, expected performance level and price point, S3 believes that the Savage4 accelerator is the mainstream graphics platform to beat in 1999.
"Savage4 takes S3 back to what it does best -- high-end performance and features at competitive price points and the stability that volume PC manufacturers require," said Jon Peddie, president, Jon Peddie Associates (Tiburon, CA.). "I expect to see Savage4 gain widespread market acceptance in 1999."
Zoals je in de vorige posting hebt kunnen lezen heeft Diamond als eerste een videokaart met de S4 aangekondigd.
