Ack I seem to be blind..... other thread



<< STMicroelectronics, Europe's biggest chipmaker, has put up its PC graphics accelerator IC assets and operations up for sale.

And if it doesn't find a buyer? It's withdrawing from
the sector - PC graphics accounts for just $15m of STM's $6.36bn turnover.

Ouchie I guess playing with Nvidia got too rough for them.

This probable means
A) We will never see a Kyro III
B) ATI will swallow them up and release some wierdly named product
C) Nvidia will swallow them up and ditch the Kyro 3 while taking some of there better technology and implementing it later.

I seriously doubt someone else (except for Intel of course) will have the stomach to take on Nvidia. Register
