Workstation
Leading European Computer Company to Offer State-of-the-Art Professional
Graphics Performance to Mobile Users in CELSIUS Mobile H Workstation
LONDON, May 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
NVIDIA(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) today announced that Fujitsu Siemens
Computers, the leading European computing company, will feature the NVIDIA
Quadro4(R) 500 Go GL Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) in its forthcoming
CELSIUS(R) Mobile H workstation. Based on a 1.7GHz Intel(R) Mobile Pentium(R)
4 processor, the CELSIUS Mobile H also includes a 15.1-inch TFT-UXGA display,
five-channel Dolby(R) Digital surround sound, enhanced security and
connectivity, and a unique modular design for easy expansion and user
customization.
Leveraging NVIDIA's robust Quadro4 XGL series of professional 3D graphics
solutions, the Quadro4 500 Go GL GPU
(http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=quadro4gogl ) delivers a
high-performance, innovative solution for engineers, animators and other
professionals looking for workstation-class graphics on a mobile platform. No
other mobile graphics solution provides a full complement of desktop
workstation features, including hardware-accelerated antialiased lines,
OpenGL(R) hardware overlay planes, two-sided lighting and more, as well as
industry-leading performance on a mobile platform.
"NVIDIA revolutionized the workstation graphics market last year with the
Quadro2 Go, a mobile GPU powerful enough for industry-grade 3D business
applications," said Alain Tiquet, marketing director EMEA for NVIDIA. "With
the inclusion of Quadro4 500 Go GL graphics in its CELSIUS mobile workstation,
Fujitsu Siemens Computers is not only offering state-of-the-art graphics
power, it is also offering a range of other mobile innovations including
NVIDIA's unique power optimization system and award-winning multi-monitor
support."
"Our customers are high-end graphics users and they need high-end,
uncompromising graphics performance, not just from their desktops but on a
mobile platform that enables them to give full multimedia presentations or to
simply take their work with them wherever they go," said Dr. Andreas Thimmel,
vice president of the Product Division Business PC at Fujitsu Siemens
Computers. "NVIDIA's Quadro4 500 Go GL chip has been designed with our
customers' needs in mind and for this reason, we are proud to bring the second
generation of CELSIUS Mobile H system to market utilizing this technology."
Combined with NVIDIA's workstation software architecture, professional
application certifications (including Ansys(R), AutoCAD(R), CATIA(R), Maya(R),
3ds max(TM), Pro/ENGINEER(R), SOFTIMAGE(R), and Unigraphics(R)) and NVIDIA's
PowerMizer(TM) power saving technology, the Quadro4 500 Go GL GPU delivers
uncompromising productivity for workstation users on the go. In addition,
NVIDIA's second-generation Lightspeed Memory Architecture (LMA) II allows for
exceptional memory performance, while its nView(TM) technology enables CELSIUS
Mobile H users to take advantage of high-quality, multi-display
configurations. Like all members of the Quadro4 family, the Quadro4 500 Go GL
GPU utilizes NVIDIA's patented Unified Driver Architecture(R) (UDA), as well
as its custom application drivers. NVIDIA's UDA provides a single driver for
all of its products for forward and backward, top to bottom compatibility, and
ease of installation and manageability.
The CELSIUS Mobile H system is expected to be available from Fujitsu
Siemens Computers in June 2002. For more information about the CELSIUS Mobile
H system, please see fujitsu-siemens.com .
