More features are added to MediaGXm.

XpressGRAPHICS

The XpressGRAPHICS feature eliminates the need for a graphics card. In a traditional PC, graphics are processed away from the main CPU through the slower PCI bus. But now, with the graphics controller and accelerator moved onto the MediaGXT processor, graphics process at the full megahertz speed of the CPU.

But there's more. An innovative graphics compression scheme with high-speed buffering allows flexibility in memory configuration without adding costly video memory. Just select the monitor resolution through Windows and the MediaGXT processor will automatically configure the rest -- up to 1280x1024 resolution and 24 bits per pixel to support the most demanding multimedia applications.

Benefit: With XpressGRAPHICS, there's no need to worry about having enough video memory -- the MediaGXT processor adjusts itself for the resolution you choose. This means that graphics power will be there to run all your MMX applications as well as other educational, business and game software -- without the purchase of additional video RAM.

Robert and everyone:

O.K. I didn't realize that other manufacturers were installing the 300mm Steppers. I thought Intel was getting a jump start on the rest of the industry.

Lets hope that TSMC or someone is going to run the GXm on this process.
