Based on AB's comments on the conference call, do you think we should expect CUBE to be included in the new INTC 3D chip that will be announced tomorrow? The price is right at $35, which is what CUBE said a daughter card would cost... I guess time will tell. Jp

Intel To Roll Out Intel740 3D Graphics Chip On Thursday By Mark Boslet 02/11/98 Dow Jones News Service (Copyright (c) 1998, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) PALO ALTO, Calif. (Dow Jones)-- Intel Corp. (INTC) will unveil its first entry into the 3D graphics market on Thursday when it rolls out its Intel740 chip. The chip was developed by the semiconductor giant in a joint venture with Chips & Technology Inc., which Intel purchased earlier this month, and Real 3D Inc., a Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT) spinoff. Intel of Santa Clara, Calif., owns 20% of the spinoff. The chip, code named Auburn during development, is slated for use in desktop computers and initially was expected late last year. It is seen posing a challenge to other smaller makers of graphics accelerators, especially given Intel 's large size and prominence in the semiconductor market. But industry executives don't see Intel mopping up either. Intel will be one of five to seven suppliers of 3D graphics accelerators for computers in the mid range of the market, those selling at $1,499 to $2,499, said J. Shane Long, vice president of sales and marketing at STB Systems Inc. (STBI). STB buys accelerator chips from suppliers, such as Intel , and installs them on computer motherboards or add-in cards. It then sells the cards and boards to PC makers such as Compaq Computer Corp. (CPQ), International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) and Dell Computer Corp. (DELL). -Mark Boslet; 650-496-1366 (END) DOW JONES NEWS 02-11-98 05:27 PM
