G450 and G800 Info FOUND!
Found this on 3dnews.net. Sounds reliable. Also is VERY interesting!
If this is true, good job Matrox!
-------------------------------------------
A source close to Matrox in Japan told us today new information on upcoming G450 and G800 which Matrox won't deny or confirm yet.
G400's death is near!
According to him, Matrox won't produce G400(including MAX) after the first quarter of 2000. High-end graphic market which G400Max has occupied will be replaced with G450(code named Condor1) and in the 4th quarter, Matrox will launch G800 (code named Condor II). What surprised us mostly is that Matrox will supply G200 till 3rd quarter of 2000 to low-end graphics market.
G450 (Condor I)
- G400 MAX core with integrated RGB, NTSC/PAL and DVI outputs
- 64bit DDR SDRAM
- support for DDR FCDRAM
- 320 pin PBGA
- 0.18 micron 6 Metal Layer process
- Mass production : Mar. 2000
- 16MB frame buffer version : 2 x (2M x 32 DDR)
- 32MB frame buffer version : 4 x (4M x 16 DDR) or 4 x (2M x 32 DDR)
16MB version of G450 will use 166MHz memory clock (in case of FC DDR, 200MHz is feasible)and uses 64bit dual memory bus.
G800(Condor II)
- Pin compatible with G450
- Double fillrate of G450
- Support for 250MHz DDR FCRAM
- Support for Hardware T&L
- Support for DirectX 8.0 Shader and fully functional DX7
- New DX7, 8 IDC drivers
- Mass production : Sept. 2000.
Matrox will show dual chip configured version of G800 in order to meet the higher transformation and fill performance too.
