<< okay... Here comes all stuff I have time to write down. (hopefully I got all right, because Petri keep so good speed up. )
anyway, Here are the major infomation that I was able to collect from presentation:
- 0.17um process
- Advanced Geometry Operations
- Even Higher precision textures.
- Prog. pixel operations
- 64 bit, floating point color precision
- Speed!
- 16+GB/s for pixel shader alone (250 MHz memory speed.)
- 30 GB/s for the whole chip
Things that I am not sure:
*** COMING SOON ***
at the end Petri showed pictures of proto cards( including at least fan ). (but just before ending he stated them to be the final reference boards. ...hmmh...) This wasn't suprise for me but what I saw in the card's backplate was DualHead or something. (there was three connectors and one was traditional VGA, one was obiously DVI and I am guessing the middle one as SVHS connector or outer vivo connector box connector. And just before end of the presentation Petri demonstrated software simulation of the chip in Q3A. Also interesting things were that He told us about developing tools. there was couple of commericial tools but also their own ones: Simo (Multi Processing simulation.) and Susi (HW Design)
There ya go. I need to arrange some of my notes before I can edit that "I am not sure" -part. >>
<< board was wider than normal but, it's lenght (or depth) was just normal. chip was big, I think. bigger than my Radeon has. >>
<< only hint to multichip is that Simo. So I really think that Multi chip is possible. >>
A lot of vapor if you ask me... but I hope I'm wrong.
