Finally I can bring this out... to all you Bitboys bashers! 😀

Bitboys and NEC have just announced a new embedded TFT-LCD graphics chip for Mobile phones and PDAs. The chip is designed by Bitboys and manufactured by NEC. Chips are based on Acceleon graphics family/ G10, G20 and G30 cores. These will officially be announced tomorrow at CEOTEC fair in Tokyo. NEC is manufacturing app. 500 000 chips monthly. The chip IS READY FOR DELIVERIES! :beer:😀

HL2 on PDA anybody?

Edit: forgot link to news... only in Finnish though, but I'm sure others will pick it up too ITviikko
 
I did notice it was mighty cold here today. I think it's spillover from down below, because h3ll must have frozen over.

Congrats to the Boyz. 🙂 Half-Life2 on PDA!... 🙂
I would suprised if it could run the original Doom at an acceptable framerate. Keep in mind this is meant to be an extremely low power solution with some 3D support. Also, the AcceleonG10 is only the entry level core

Last year? The Acceleon line of cores have been available for license only a couple of quarters this year. This will be the first commercial product from BitBoys - well NEC licensed the IP for this chip, so it's not directly from BitBoys. NEC is responsible for integrating the IP into their own chips and manufacturing them, but it's still a milestone for BitBoys.

Maybe it was an announcement for these chips that I read last year. Either way they still haven't delivered sh!t for gamers with the exception of alot of talk and paper, which we all get at work daily anyway so Bitboys continues to be yet another laugh in a continued line of "same ol" days.......

Bologne, they haven't mentioned the desktop gaming market in some years, especially since they've started focusing on handheld graphics chips.

If the Axe line of GPUs is still in development, I would be greatly surprised.
 
BitBoys officially quit on the consumer performance market over a year ago when they moved into mobile solutions for PDA and mobile phones. Might want to stop waiting for that gaming card.

Actually they stated that their mobile GPU development was to provide R&D money for their gaming/desktop endevours.

They didn't rule out returning to that market at some point in the future, but at this point, they are no longer developing addin gaming cards.
