it is old news.

Hmm...

I think well se more from Matrox in the future
I think alot off these rumors are from "dissatisfied" pepole that lost their jobs....

But.... time will show!

Matroxs response which err, didn't say anything to dispell the rumours.

[Robin B P]

Guess its wait and see.

I didn´t say it was an informative response.

I don´t think they will go away that easily.

another 3 years to wait... ***sigh***

Get ready for June 2006. The Matrox Anthelion MAX VVU (Virtual Vision Unit/Very-victorious Unit)

-0.001 micron
-1024-bit bus
-Full FP-pipeline
-QDRII eDRAM
-1024-bit internal colour
-1024MB Frame Buffer
-DX20.0 part
-OGL20.0 part

hehe

I dont think there's gonna be an OGL20.0 by 2006, DX20.0 maybe with the rate that is going, the rest could be realistic *cough*

You forgot support for up to 8 monitors

[Chrono_Wanderer]

@knirfie oo wait... it should be DX XP nvm


8 monitors? i thought they are having holographic monitors by then.

Chrono, I think your crystal ball is a bit fuzzy. Here, let me use some Windoleen on it...

Ok, just wanted to point out that's 1 nanometre.

-1024-bit bus
Nah, they'll have gone to a serial bus running at a few hundred GHz.

-Full FP-pipeline
The pipeline will be fully complex-floating-point. Don't know what they're going to do with the imaginary part yet.

-QDRII eDRAM
Built right into the pipeline so the data doesn't have to make that time-consuming, performance-killing hike across the die like on other chips.

-1024-bit internal colour
Again, fully complex floating-point. I have to wonder if the imaginary colours will tie in with the RSN feature.

-1024MB Frame Buffer
The frame buffer will be implemented in quantum storage, so it holds all possible images simultaneously and just picks the correct one at vertical sync time.

-DX20.0 part
About right, but it will be called DX XP Pro (or Home Edition), and require reactivation if you play more than six different games in a month.

-OGL20.0 part
More like OGL 2.1

The shading language as natively executed on-chip will be one of Alpha assembler, C, Java, or Mathematica. (For the next-generation part after this one, the shading language is planned to be English, so developers can write

gl_ext_shade("Make really cool effects!");

and spend more time on gameplay, AI, etc.) nVidia parts will have similar features, only their shading language will be LOGO.

The MAX version will come with a built-in "nVidiot/FanATIc-punisher" feature. Essentially, this detects anyone who says something to the effect of "oh it's a Matrox card, it's only good for 2D, games will be a slideshow" within a 10-foot radius, and fires ball lightning at their private parts. These will be charged as a side-effect of normal factory testing, so they will get one shot opportunity for the time they are on the shelves.

i was reading this ..................sat back...............wow, my virtual pitou came to life. ut2003 playing at 150fps surround gigacolor in a fire fight,need for speed with 5 camera points( rear view camera points in the outside monitor corners), and the kid watching a dvd off to the side so i can keep and eye on him..........hummm phone rings and i open my eyes, @#$@#$%%&
hate it when that happens

[DirtFarmer]

@cal,
by the time we see the pitou you'll be on the side watching the DVD and you'll have 3 kids fighting over which game they'll be Surround Gaming on.

[knirfie]

I thought it'd have a different game on each monitor at killer FPS rates
