Intel, Evans & Sutherland work together on Merced graphics A service of Semiconductor Business News, CMP Media Inc. Story posted at 12:30 p.m. EST/9:30 a.m. PST, 11/19/97 SALT LAKE CITY -- Evans & Sutherland Computer Corp. announced today that it is working with Intel Corp. to deliver its high-performance REALimage 3D graphics technology when systems based on Intel's Merced processor become available in 1999. "The rendering performance of E&S's REALimage graphics technology together with the geometry processing capabilities of the Merced processor will deliver exceptional workstation performance," said Stephen Smith, vice president, Microprocessor Products Group and general manager of Intel's Santa Clara Processor Division. "Intel continues to work closely with a variety of technology leaders to help ensure that all critical elements are in place to provide an optimum platform for Merced processor based systems. Our work with E&S represents an important piece of that strategy." The Merced processor is the first of Intel's future family of IA-64 microprocessors. "Intel's IA-64 processor family will usher in a new dimension for professional workstation performance," said Rick Maule, general manager of Desktop Graphics for E&S. "E&S's REALimage technology optimized for the Merced processor will be one of the cornerstones of future graphics technology for the workstation market." "Today's announcement underscores our company's commitment to the fast-growing Windows NT workstation market," Maule added. Since its initial shipment in 1997, REALimage technology has become the standard for OpenGL-based graphics on Windows NT workstations, an E&S statement said. In combination with memory technologies from Mitsubishi, REALimage has been used in workstation product lines from Compaq, Hewlett Packard, Micron, Digital, Siemens Nixdorf, and other manufacturers. E&S recently announced that its next-generation REALimage 2000 technology will be available early in 1998.
