2 x GeForce4 Ti = ???

[PAugustin]

Read on Hardware.fr:

D’ici un mois, une puce offrant sur le papier des spécifications deux fois supérieures à celles des GeForce4 Ti 4400/4600 devrait être annoncée. 3D Labs Permedia4, ATI R300, BitBoyz Glaze3D, Matrox Parhelia, NVIDIA NV30, Videologic Kyro III ? Malheureusement nous ne pourrons pas vous donner la réponse avant la mi-mai. En tout cas une chose est sûre, vous allez êtres surpris ...


Within a month a new chip should be announced. Its specs shows that it should be twice as powerfull as a GF4 Ti 4400/4600. 3D Labs Permedia4, Ati R300, BitBoyz Glaze3D, Matrox Parhelia, NVIDIA NV30, Videologic Kyro III ? Unfortunately we won't be allowed/able to give you the answer before mid-may. One thing is sure, you are going to be suprised ...

This time it is not an April joke, This guy is usually very well informed. Let's hope it will be Parhelia...

Of those mentioned I think 3DLabs, Parhelia and Kyro3 are closest to truth. I don't think 3DLabs or ATI will come out just yet, we know that Parhelia is close, and although PowerVR did state that Kyro3 would currently be a high-end part I have trouble believing that it would be 2 times as fast as the Ti4600 (at least by the specs). Of course, if it REALLY is a surprise it won't even be on that list... S3?

Well, at least the "we won't be allowed/able to give you the answer" part sounds like Matrox

I think you all know who it is.

[PAugustin]

YES we know !!!!

[DC]

... and I REALLY hoped it would be the Matrox .....

The part I didn't like was the within a month bit Of course within doesn't really mean anything, but I had the gut feeling that we would get something substantial THIS week ?

Hmmmmm, you say I need even more patience ? Don't know if I can do that

No ! not on the head ! It was a joke !

Yes it was. STMicroelectronics is removing itself from the graphics chip market and is currently willing to sell the branch that produced the Kyro and Kyro II chips.

pfff when it is announced within a month it will take another two months before it going to be in the shops i think so its goning to be more then 3 month before i can by him if we are lucky.
and dont forget the deliferi problems so 4 month i think and hope it will come

Then go and buy a Ti4600 or a 8500 ...

Time to start ebaying all the cr*p I can find.
Have to pay for the Matrox card somehow

[frankymail]

Hey, I'm pretty happy that Matrox' going to announce Parhelia mid-May, because I wasn't expecting anythign before June. I just hope that they announce the boards (at least a few) at the same time as the chip itself…

2 x GeForce4 Ti = .01 x Parhelia.
