  • More Parhelia leaks?

    From: http://www.penstarsys.com/editor/Tod.../nvda_gi_2.htm

    Cut n Paste:



    It seems we are now approaching yet another Golden Age of 3D, except this one will be much more impressive! NVIDIA has just released its GeForce 4 series of cards that addresses the market from top to bottom and adds some very important features. ATI is holding steady with the Radeon 8500 chip, but has released a new product lineup that is much more competitive with what NVIDIA has. ATI is also hinting at the release of the R250 chip, which is the successor to the Radeon 8500, and we could see that as early as this summer. Creative Labs has bought 3DLabs (makers of the Permedia chip) and promises to release a new product that will be aimed at the mainstream market. Matrox is about to wade in with what looks to be a very impressive product which is codenamed Parhelia. SiS also has released its Xabre series of chips which promises DirectX 8 support for the value and midrange market. Trident is even joining in the fray with what looks to be a well designed notebook part that supports full DX8.1 compliance


    AND



    Matrox has shown working Parhelia behind closed doors and all initial indications point to a very impressive product that will put Matrox back in the limelight. The R250 from ATI will be making it to shelves this summer, and the performance and feature gains over the current Radeon 8500 are there. SiS is looking to capture the bottom half of the market with its impressive Xabre series of chips. Creative/3D Labs are aiming at the mainstream and workstation market with a late fall release of their chip. Trident is also hoping to take away the gains that both ATI and NVIDIA have made in the mobile space, and they look to be able to do this with their DX8.1 notebook chip (which features an amazingly low power draw).

    EDIT:
    And some more:


    With the release of the GeForce 4 series, NVIDIA has made a definite push to get into the business market, a place where Matrox makes the vast majority of its money. The Quadro series has expanded to feature multi-monitor configurations as well as the traditional digital content creation products. NVIDIA in fact hired a few ex-Appian engineers to help them develop their multi-monitor products. This experience has lead to the nView feature on all their GeForce 4 cards. NVIDIA is going to have a hard time making further inroads into the business and professional market due to Matrox about to release a new, very competitive part

          But for all you know they could have got all that info about Parhelia from here. They don't actually say anything that hasn't been said here (though, I didn't check out the link - just read the quoted bits, so I may be wrong)
